On April 18, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz led to a 13-day consecutive rise in the Nasdaq, setting new highs, while West Texas Intermediate crude oil saw a sharp decline and gold and silver prices surged. Looking ahead, Matt Powers, managing partner at Powers Advisory Group, stated that the market may have reached a short-term bottom, but the overall trend remains highly dependent on external factors. Powers warned that the current market is still a typical 'headline-driven market.' Movements in oil prices, the Federal Reserve's policy pace, and changes in geopolitical situations could quickly alter market sentiment. Powers noted that the rapid recovery of U.S. stocks indicates that the underlying market trend remains solid, reflecting a considerable resilience to pressure. He emphasized that for the market to continue its upward momentum, more sectors and individual stocks need to participate to enhance market breadth. Additionally, corporate earnings performance will be a key factor supporting the market. UBS strategists also indicated that there is still room for U.S. stocks to rise over the next year, thanks to strong corporate profit growth and a robust U.S. economy.
