After the worst first half in decades, Wall Street is showing strong momentum, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index outperforming over the past month. The Nasdaq logged its longest-winning weekly streak since November, pushing the benchmark to a new bull market.
Investors looking to ride the Nasdaq bulls could consider ETFs like Invesco QQQ (QQQ - Free Report) , Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM - Free Report) , First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Fund (QQEW - Free Report) , Simplify Nasdaq 100 PLUS Convexity ETF , Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index Tracking Stock (ONEQ - Free Report) , ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD - Free Report) and ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ - Free Report) . These funds might see massive trading volumes in the days ahead, given the bullish fundamentals.
A slowdown in July inflation brought the much-needed relief to the stock market and perked up investor sentiment. The consumer price index jumped 8.5% year over year in July, down from a 9.1% year-over-year increase in June, which was the fastest increase since November 1981. This, coupled with recession fears, has spurred bets that the Fed could start lower the pace of rate hikes. The world's largest economy is poised for a technical recession as GDP shrank by 0.9% in the second quarter, followed by a 1.6% decline in the first quarter (read: Inflation Cools But Food Prices Up Since 1979: ETFs in Focus).
U.S. consumer sentiment improved in August from a record low earlier this summer. The University of Michigan’s preliminary sentiment index rose to a three-month high of 55.1 from 51.5 in July. Additionally, a drop in Treasury yields, which had led to a sharp sell-off in the tech sector, and declining commodity prices brought back the lure for tech stocks.
