Wall Street has seen a bull run in 2023 after a highly disappointing 2022. Year to date, all three major stock indexes are in positive territory. In fact, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite have witnessed an impressive rally.
However, in the past one and a half months, volatility has returned to U.S. stock markets. The Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite have exhibited negative returns during this period. Despite facing volatility, the long-term trend of U.S. stock markets remains bullish.
Meanwhile, stock prices of a handful of U.S. corporate bigwigs have flourished in the past month. The primary reason for the stock prices of these companies to thrive is their strong earnings results in the last reported quarter and solid guidance. Investment in these stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank should be fruitful for market participants.
