While the recent news regarding tariffs and potential trade wars has led to an increase in near-term volatility, Lowry's key gauges of market health suggest the market is undergoing a period of consolidation, rather than a major market top.
During this webinar we discussed the recent market consolidation and how our indicators continue to favor a positive outlook, where we see opportunity, and what we will need to observe to suggest a more cautious approach. CFRA Head of Global Research—Wealth Management Paul Beland, CFA, Lowry Research Senior Vice President Michael Kahn, CMT, and Market Analyst Michael Zuber, CMT, highlighted key market trends, identified critical indicators, emerging patterns, and provided insights that could influence future market movements.
During the session, we reviewed:
- Lowry's Current Market Outlook
- Potential Signs that might Raise the Caution Level
- Sectors Likely to Outperform and Underperform
- Top Stocks and ETFs (in Lowry’s Most-Favored Sectors)
- Q&A
