Markets are in 'waiting mode': Analyst

Amid the uncertainty surrounding potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) have entered a stagnant phase as the latest FedSpeak fails to provide clear direction. In this environment, Baird Investment Strategy Analyst Ross Mayfield joins Market Domination Overtime to share his insights on market outlooks.
Mayfield acknowledges that "there's nothing that has really changed the narrative" regarding potential rate cuts, suggesting that markets are in a "waiting mode for the big earnings." He notes that his current base case scenario could involve two rate cuts.
With earnings season underway, Mayfield highlights the "tech reset sentiment," acknowledging the market's shifting focus. He emphasizes earnings reports revealed a broadening breadth in the market, encompassing sectors such as utilities, commodities, and cyclicals. Mayfield says this diversification of strength both domestically and internationally is "very much a good thing here."
Despite the current uncertainties and market stagnation, Mayfield remains optimistic about the future growth trajectory of stocks.
