Market Outlook

Given the current market conditions and the upcoming economic reports, I am neutral on the market for the next 30 days. The mixed economic data and the anticipation of key reports like GDP and Consumer Confidence could lead to market volatility. Additionally, the earnings season could introduce further fluctuations depending on the outcomes relative to expectations.
