Earnings season was the most pressing hurdle for investors. We have cleared that barrier with the greatest of ease allowing stocks to make new highs. Sheraz Mian gives you all the vital details in his recent article: Q2 Earnings on Track to Reach New Record.
The next interesting item to ponder is Q2 GDP that comes out Friday morning at 8:30am ET. It seems that most of the credible estimates are in a fairly tight range:
+2.6% Econoday consensus
+2.8% GDPNow model from Atlanta Fed
+2.8% Blue Chip Economists panel
I think there are decent odds to come in a notch above which could provide that final boost to get to 2500. Yes, a big time miss would take a lot of starch out of the recent stock advance. However, the chance of that is low.
Expect proof of accelerated growth with more stock gains to follow.
Best,
Steve Reitmeister
Executive Vice President, Zacks Investment Research
