The markets are flat going into the first full week of April, which is historically a strong month for stocks — and more in Monday’s stock market recap.
The markets are stronger than they should be in light of the major global and economic events we’ve endured this year.
And part of the reason they’re so strong is because of all the money the Federal Reserve pumped into the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Were it not for that, we would be in bad shape right now.
We have a slow week in terms of economic reports, with the most important data being the Federal Open Market Committee minutes coming Wednesday. This will give us a better understanding of what the Fed discussed at its last meeting.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, you’ll discover the most likely scenario for the bond market in the coming days… the biggest reports that threaten stocks… whether volatility is picking up or winding down… major levels for the top indices… a sneak peak inside market internals… plus a deep dive into the major sectors.
