The first-quarter US GDP (gross domestic product) print grew by 1.6%, a slower pace than was expected for the quarter. Carson Group Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick joined the Morning Brief to discuss his market outlook following pressures sparked by the latest data print. Detrick points out that, historically, markets “tend to be a little weak” at the start of an election year, calling the current market environment “normal.” He is not “overly concerned that the economy’s slowing down” when taking the GDP print into account. Detrick expresses optimism that the economy is moving in the right direction, stating that “inflation’s not perfect”; however, he still believes that two to three interest rate cuts could materialize in 2024. On the earnings front, with markets spooked after Meta Platforms’ (META) earnings report and second-quarter guidance, Detrick cautions against drawing broad conclusions from a single company’s performance: “It’s hard to just say one company matters for everybody.” However, he advises adopting a neutral stance on Big Tech due to group’s pricy stocks.

Democratic Republic of Congo is pushing Apple Inc for more information about its supply chain over concerns it may be tainted with conflict minerals sourced from the country, international lawyers engaged by Congo said on Thursday.
