Stocks Poised For More Gains, Dow Makes New All-Time High

Stocks closed mixed, but the Dow made a new all-time high, and the S&P made a new all-time high close.

The markets are in a great spot right now.

Stocks should continue to respond well to positive economic news.

But with the Fed reiterating their support for a rate cut to "sustain the expansion" if needed, even a little bit of bad news could be good for the market.

Expectations are high that the Fed cuts rates by at least a quarter point at their next FOMC meeting on July 30th and 31st.

And it's looking more and more likely that a half a point rate cut (or more) should be seen by year's end.

In the meantime, the markets are poised to keep the gains coming.

We had a great first half. Actually a record first half.

And I'm expecting the second half to be just as good, if not better.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again – these are historic times for the economy and the market.

And with historic times comes historic opportunity.

If you wished you would've traded the market differently up to this point, don't worry.

Just be sure to do it now.

There's a lot more upside to go.

So make sure you're taking full advantage of it!

Best,

Kevin Matras
