On Friday, U.S. stocks saw a rebound after the S&P 500 recovered from its worst trading session in months. The market had been on a seven-day winning streak until Thursday when investors shifted their focus from Big Tech to smaller-cap stocks. This rotation caused many Club holdings, including Nvidia, to experience a 5% drop. However, Nvidia’s stock managed to gain over 2% on Friday, indicating a potential recovery.
Market Indicators and Forecasts
June’s producer price index print came in hotter than expected, contradicting Thursday’s consumer price index data that suggested a decrease in inflation. Despite this, analysts do not anticipate any changes in rate cut expectations for September. The Dow Jones Industrial Average returned to record levels and surpassed the 40,000 mark once again. Wells Fargo, on the other hand, saw a 7% drop in its stock price following its second-quarter report. While the bank reported strong revenue and earnings, investors were concerned about its net interest income (NII) falling below expectations.
Although Wells Fargo’s stock took a hit, the company’s expansion into fee-based businesses, such as investment banking, shows promise for future growth. Many analysts view the recent sell-off as a “sell-the-news” event, especially since Wells Fargo shares had been on the rise prior to the earnings report. The CNBC Investing Club will provide a detailed analysis of the bank’s quarterly results later on Friday. Looking ahead, Morgan Stanley and Abbott Laboratories are set to announce their earnings next week, with expectations of strong performances from both companies.
