Top banks split on S&P 500 outlook: market stalls in uncertainty

This image is no longer relevant

JP Morgan believes the risk of a correction in the S&P 500 is currently minimal. The bank expects the index to continue climbing, despite weak data and political uncertainty. UBS and HSBC are more cautious. They warn that the White House's unstable tariff policy could increase market pressure and spark volatility. Against this backdrop, investors are waiting for fresh signals.

The market stands at a crossroads. If the optimistic scenario plays out, the index could keep rising. If not, a gradual pullback is possible. In such conditions, traders may look for entries on dips, lock in profits amid rebounds, or partially reduce risk. Every move brings opportunity — the key is to act calmly and follow a plan. Follow the link for details.

S&P 500 clings to key level, but momentum falters

This image is no longer relevant

The S&P 500 has managed to stay above its 200-day moving average, a technically strong signal. However, the broader market is advancing sluggishly. Economic data remains weak, consumer activity is declining, and confidence in White House policy is still lacking. Despite the green close, tensions remain high.

This market suits those focused on short-term moves — intraday or over a few sessions. Medium-term long positions are also possible, provided entries follow pullbacks and clear levels are set. Everything is in place: tight spreads, low commissions, and access to a broad range of US stocks. Follow the link for details.

US stocks edge higher, but investor caution persists

This image is no longer relevant

The US stock market has seen modest gains, but there are still no strong drivers for a rally. Consumer confidence is slipping. The data is underwhelming. Investors are in no rush to take decisive action. Everyone is waiting to hear from the White House on tariffs and to see whether new economic stimulus is coming. So far, the market is in wait-and-see mode.

Still, there are options in this type of market. One can look for short-term entries after weak sessions. Another strategy is to open positions in strong stocks on dips, betting on a rebound. Some are locking in profits before the market slides lower. Either scenario can work — the key is to stick to the plan and stay on top of the news. Follow the link for details.
