Tuesday’s uptrend trailed last week’s rally. However, continued modest gains instead of sharp retracements after a major rally could signal more good news to come, believes Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments. “The fact that it refuses to go down seems extremely bullish to me,” he says. “Normally after a big rally the market pulls back, and when the market doesn’t pull back and goes sideways, it’s very bullish to me.”

With a light macroeconomic agenda, which barely includes April’s trade balance and weekly mortgage figures, investors’ attention is already turning to next week’s Federal Reserve meeting.

Market consensus expects the Fed leaves interest rates unchanged at next week’s meeting, although increases could resume in July with a new 25-point rise. However, much will depend on the inflation readings and the employment figures that are released in the coming days.

The Fed’s pause could give more gas to technology stocks, which are being the big stars this year thanks in large part to the boom in artificial intelligence. for now, Citigroup analysts see more potential: “We remain positive on growth for June as we see more tailwinds than headwinds manifesting for this style over the next month,” a team including Chris Montagu wrote in a note. However, he cautioned that the gains in the stock indexes were driven by fewer shares in May, which posed a risk.
