Correction, or No Correction | April 29th, 2024 Kuby's Commentary

    • Investissement

Last week, the market saw a minor pullback rather than a significant correction, with gains in major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite. Small and mid-cap sectors lagged behind due to concerns about economic challenges and interest rate hikes. Economic data hinted at lower-than-expected GDP growth and higher inflation, leading to discussions of potential stagflation. This week, investors are eyeing the Federal Reserve meeting, April jobs report, and corporate earnings, particularly from tech giants like Apple and Amazon.
