How to Play it, when the US Economy Surges First

AU TSM PTON

How does the old phrase “Fair and Square” relate to the global markets?

Our Chief Equity Strategist and Economist, John Blank, explains that for us.

1. John, something tells me this has to do with events in other countries that traders will be watching.

2. You say April macro data will likely be a market negative. Which data specifically?

3. What other macro catalysts will there be to look out for in April and is the pandemic among them?

4. The news of February Retail Sales dropping more than expected came in the wake of retailer earnings reports for Q4. Retailer earnings were relatively strong. But in light of the February retail sales data, will the going likely get tougher for these players in the coming quarters?

5. Given all the macro data that you’ve outlined here, is this a time investors should be buying stocks or should they keep their powder dry?

6. How do you feel about the Fed not extending a pandemic crisis rule that allowed banks to have lower capital requirements? This is something Wall Street had been lobbying for as a way to calm volatile markets.

7. Bank stocks fell sharply on the news. Do you see the banks and other financials having a rough go going forward because of this?

8. Other stocks you’re looking at now include Taiwan Semi (TSM - Free Report) , Peloton (PTON - Free Report) and AngloGold Ashanti (AU - Free Report) .

Taking another look at macro data and its impact, with our Chief Equity Strategist and Economist, John Blank. With John, I’m Terry Ruffolo.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.

This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
