Market Outlook

Given the upcoming economic reports, particularly around inflation, and the recent performance of major indexes, I am neutral on the market for the next 30 days. The mixed signals from different sectors and the anticipation of high-impact economic data release suggest a period of potential volatility and market adjustment. Investors should keep a close eye on these developments as they could influence market directions significantly.
