30‑Day Market Outlook
Outlook: Cautiously Bearish 📉
The market closed the week with notable weakness—SPY down ~2.4%, QQQ ~2.2%, and a sharper decline in small caps (IWM) of ~4.2%. These losses reflect growing concerns from weak jobs data and rising trade tensions (Reuters, The Guardian). With a full slate of earnings and several high‑impact macro releases ahead—including Fed speakers and economic data—volatility is likely to remain elevated. Valuations are stretched, and unless corporate guidance improves or policy signals turn accommodative, I expect continued sideways to lower action through the next month.
