In the fast-paced world of Wall Street, every minute counts. As the trading day nears its end, investors are looking for actionable insights to guide their decisions in the final hour. The CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer understands the urgency of this moment, which is why they release the Homestretch daily to provide timely updates on market trends and stock movements.
Here are some key highlights from the latest Homestretch update:
Market bounce: Despite a rocky start to Thursday’s session, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to climb out of the red and trade higher. While anything can happen in the final stretch of trading, keeping an eye on the performance of top-quality stocks like Apple and Nvidia can provide valuable insights into the market’s direction. These two stocks, known as “own, don’t trade” stocks, may hold the key to the tech sector’s resilience amidst market volatility.
Selloff strategies: In a semiconductor selloff scenario, investors are faced with the dilemma of choosing the best buy among Nvidia, Broadcom, and Advanced Micro Devices. While all three companies have been impacted by the market rotation, prioritizing the strongest AI plays like Broadcom and Nvidia can be a strategic move. Investing in the best-performing stocks within a group often leads to quicker rebounds when the overall market is under pressure.
Earnings calendar: The schedule for earnings releases after Thursday’s closing bell includes companies like Dexcom, Sketchers, Texas Roadhouse, and more. Friday will bring earnings reports from Bristol-Myers, Charter Communications, 3M, and others. These earnings announcements can have a significant impact on stock prices and market sentiment.
Inflation data: Friday’s release of the June PCE report will provide insights into inflation trends, which are closely monitored by investors and the Federal Reserve. While the probability of a rate cut in July is low, a soft PCE print could pave the way for rate cuts in September. The CME FedWatch tool indicates a 60% chance of at least three cuts by the end of the year.
