Despite negative economic indicators like hotter-than-expected inflation data, weak retail sales, and the possibility of a trade war, the stock market is experiencing a resilient rally. This is attributed to strong corporate earnings, a surprisingly robust economy, and a belief that the impact of potential tariffs will be limited.
  • S&P near new closing high despite negative news.
  • Strong corporate earnings (15.3% growth).
  • Economy doing okay (2.9% GDP, low initial claims, narrow credit spreads).
  • Tariffs being slow-walked to avoid further inflation.
  • Broadening earnings picture across various sectors.
