Market Update Into 5/17: Bears Confer After Friday’s Broad Market Rally Across Major Indices
Major market indices rallied on Friday to post impressive gains, yet still suffering their biggest weekly losses since February. Friday’s gains were spread across various sectors; with Apple and Tesla for the win in Tech and Carnaval and American Airlines signaling that the U.S. economy is open for business again. Last week was a whipsaw of price action, leading many to believe that the gains posted were more due to the presence of traders rather than the sentiments of long-term investors shaking off inflation worries.
If we have a look at the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Report (released after market close), consumer sentiment is down by 5.5 points from May’s 88.3; a disappointment to Wall St., which forecasted a rise to 90.1. Therefore, next week stands to be a pivotal point where the market either continues on the optimism of a supercharged spending spree upon the opening of the U.S. economy or succumbs to the inevitability of inflation.
