Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, joins us to break down the latest action in U.S. equity markets.
September opened with a quick dip across the S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq, but as Joel highlights, the buy-the-dip mentality remains firmly in place – driven by mega-cap tech, broadening participation across sectors, and ongoing retail interest in equities.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Mega-Cap Tech Leadership – Google, Apple, Amazon, and Meta continue to drive indexes, with court rulings and AI expansion acting as catalysts.
- Broadening Rally – Equal-weight indexes, small caps (IWM), and biotech show strength alongside value plays like healthcare and dividend stocks.
- Retail Sector Resilience – Strong reports from Macy’s (M) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) highlight consumer demand, even as IPO speculation unwinds.
- Precious Metals & Inflation – Gold and silver rising as investors hedge against inflation concerns, with Fed rate cuts looming despite strong markets.
- Risk Factors Ahead – The potential for stagflation if growth slows while inflation persists.
