US celebrates 2-year bull market, up 65%. More upside is likely ahead. Why & what else to watch now
From YouTube
US markets celebrate their two year bull market anniversary, with the S&P500 hitting its 45th record high this year. So the S&P has gained 65% from October 2022. What does this mean for you and what stocks do you need to watch? We cover why you need to watch the S&P500, bank earnings, Tesla, Uber and China's markets.
Firstly, you might be asking yourself is it too late to invest? The answer is - the US market is being supported higher by a lot of factors. From the US and China stimulating their economies. To US earnings growing too, and being expected to grow – which supports share price growth. Plus there’s a record amount of money on the side lines which could be put into markets after November. The average bull market since World War II lasted 5 years and rose 180%. The median was a gain of well over 100%. So could have a lot more room to run.
So what to consider this week? There’s a blockbuster roll out of US bank earnings. Watch Goldman Sachs $Goldman Sachs (GS.US)$, Bank of America $Bank of America (BAC.US)$ and Citigroup $Citigroup (C.US)$ - some of the biggest global banks. They’re results will tell us of the strength of the US consumer and US economy. If they deliver better than expected earnings, their shares will likely rise and boost US market sentiment. But if they deliver sour grapes – you might see the opportunity.
Tesla $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ shares will be on watch. They fell 8.8% after Tesla’s Cybercab event. Some traders were concerned about the lack of detail, others questions if Optimus robots were humans in disguise. Tesla shares are up about 45% from early April. But they gapped down –a technical term - suggesting it could see more downward pressure. But Tesla bulls may buy the dip, as Tesla’s earnings are expected to rise with sales expected to move up, particularly in China.
Uber $Uber Technologies (UBER.US)$ shares meanwhile gained about 11% after Tesla’s event showed Uber’s business won’t be threated by Tesla’s Cybercab.
Lastly – watch China’s CSI and affiliated ETFs such as $ChinaAMC CSI 300 Index ETF (03188.HK)$ as China’s announced its second round of stimulus on the weekend. China’s CSI300 is up 21% in 14 days despite last week’s pull back. This week we’ll see how traders react to the second stimulus measures after the first package was China’s biggest in nominal terms. So will investment managers buy the dip for the long term recovery. That’s the questions
