April 24 Update

Historic rally continues.  For month April – S&P 500 +8.9%, Dow +6.4%, Russell +11%, Nasdaq +13.2%

Nasdaq has only 2 down days in April.  Relentless move and it may be catching many off guard.  Especially, given the weak March and the prospect of global chaos. 

Earnings are coming good.  INTC up over 20% on their 1st quarter report.  And TSM up 5%.  Tech stocks doing well, especially in hardware sector.  The software sector still has worries concerning AI disruption.    

Hope of negotiations to end the Middle East conflicts is helping the markets this week. 

Next week key tech earnings, AAPL, META, MSFT, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN.
