Equity Markets Closer Higher After Latest Earnings, Macro Data
Wall Street gears up for a number of big tech earnings this week as many of the tech giants hold much of the value of the S&P 500 (^GSPC). As earnings from the Magnificent Seven roll out, investors may be looking for opportunities to enter the market. Simplify Asset Management Chief Strategist Michael Green and Wealth Enhancement Group Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor Nicole Webb join Market Domination to discuss investment opportunities during this big week of tech earnings and beyond. Webb gives her overview of earnings so far: “To us, it’s just all of this playing out of where does the earnings growth for the rest of the year come from, and we had anticipated a deceleration from those mega tech names in the back half of this year. And so kind of below the surface we see this churning, the broadening that everyone is talking about and some of that relative outperformance from places like the equal weight S&P (^SPXEW).” Green follows up with: “I think the biggest surprises that have come out of earnings in general have been things like General Motors’ (GM) announcement today that was accompanied by an astonishing buyback where they shrank the quantity of shares by around 17%. This is in contrast, that level of buyback is unprecedented for many of these companies for that to be happening in open markets. And it’s just highlighting that the exceptionally cheap areas of the market as long as there’s a little bit of support that’s coming in through the interest rate space, that really looks like that could be an area of focus.” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

Equity Markets Close Higher After Latest Earnings, Macro Data
Several names in the Magnificent Seven are gearing up to release their first-quarter earnings, with much of Wall Street waiting with bated breath as these tech giants hold much of the value of the S&P 500 (^GSPC). Despite seeing historic gains with these names, some on Wall Street grow concerned over future performance, causing hesitation for further investment in the tech sector. Ladenburg Asset Management CEO and Osaic Chief Market Strategist Phil Blancato joins Market Domination to give insight into the upcoming week of tech earnings and what investors need to keep in mind when buying into the sector. Blancato gives advice as to how to proceed during times of uncertainty: “If you have money there and you haven’t taken any profits especially with a bounce like this, I do have a CAPE [ratio] moving some of that money away in the traditionally more defensive sectors… I want to see it earn a dividend. I think the energy sector is really underpriced, the financials have really come back and are quite strong and have hung in there real well.” He continues: “The other parts of the market that have better valuations are going to get you through the next two quarters. The next two quarters are difficult because we are seeing a gradual slowdown in the labor market, for example, you look at the number of open jobs versus the number of people looking, that number’s continuing to narrow.” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.
