Stocks Rise on Positive Earnings and Economic Data, But Uncertainty Remains
-
Company earnings reports so far have been positive, boosting stocks. More reports next week may continue the trend.
-
The Federal Reserve's lack of interest rate rise was reassuring to investors.
-
The October jobs report showed good continued employment growth.
-
Consumer sentiment and inflation reports in the coming weeks may also be positive based on recent data.
-
Enjoy this market pause, but don't assume it's a new bull market yet. Negatives that drove the prior selloff remain.
