Fortinet (FTNT, $71.48): Robots' Profitable Pick with Over 2% Gain in the Past 2 Days.
Wednesday, the broad market index and Nasdaq Composite both reached their highest level since April 2022. The S&P 500 closed the session with a 0.08% gain, marking its fifth consecutive positive session and the longest streak of positive results since November 2021. The Nasdaq rose by 0.39%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.68%. Most of our robots closed near breakeven positions yesterday, but there were some stocks that showed decent profits, such as Fortinet Inc, which has been showing steady growth, and we see potential for continued positive momentum for the robots.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated at a press conference after the meeting that the Federal Open Market Committee is using the six weeks leading up to its next meeting to "take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy." He added that a decision on the July policy move has not yet been made.
"Today, the Fed shocked the markets—not with a rate hike (as they kept rates unchanged, as expected), but with expressing much more hawkishness than anticipated in their language and in their future economic forecasts," said Chris Zaccarelli, Chief Investment Officer at Independent Advisor Alliance. He added that the initial market shock was quickly overcome, and the major averages trimmed their previous losses by the end of Powell's press conference.
"While this policy decision signals that the Fed has shifted from an escalation phase of rate hikes to a calibration phase, there is no doubt that the Fed is fully prepared for further rate hikes in the future if necessary," said Marty Green, Managing Director at Polunsky Beitel Green.
Additional economic data released on Thursday morning will provide investors and policymakers with a better understanding of the strength of the labor market and consumer spending. Weekly jobless claims data and retail sales for May will be published tomorrow morning. Investors will also be watching the June survey of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's manufacturing sector, as well as May data from the Fed on industrial production and capacity utilization.
Wall Street will be paying attention to several corporate earnings reports. Kroger, Jabil, and John Wiley are expected to announce earnings on Thursday morning, while Adobe will report after the market closes.
