4 Top Growth Stocks to Buy and Watch in the Current stock market rally
Dow Jones Futures Today: Treasury Yields, Oil Prices
Before the opening bell on Tuesday, Dow Jones futures, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures, were little changed against fair value. Remember that the overnight action in Dow Jones Futures and elsewhere does not necessarily translate to actual trading in the next regular stock Exchange session.
The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.21% on Monday, extending a winning streak to four sessions and closing at its highest level since Oct. 24. Meanwhile, US oil prices. Last week, WTI futures hit their highest point since mid-October.
Third Quarter Earnings Season
Third Quarter Earnings Season continues this week, with more key reports coming from Disney (DIS), double check (YOU), dr horton (DHI), Western (OXY) Y Roblox (RBLX).
Earnings reports drive many of the biggest moves in stocks and require special focus. Strong earnings can push major stocks above new buy points and into buy zones, while a less-than-impressive announcement can send shares below key support levels.
The stock market’s reaction to an earnings release can often tell you more than the earnings themselves. If results look strong but stocks are still down, investors may be concerned about the sustainability of growth, rising costs, or other potential downsides.
With the market in rally mode, investors should be following companies that easily outperform earnings results and have strong bullish reactions. These stocks could be among the new leaders if the market is able to recover from its recent losses.
What to do in the distressed stock market rally
Now is an important time to read. IBD’s The Big Picture column after the transition of the stock market trend from a “confirmed uptrend” to a “uptrend under pressure”.
At this point, investors should be playing defense; don’t let profitable trades turn negative. As The Big Picture reiterated last week, it makes sense to hold exposure at or below 20% until the uptrend resumes.
But now is not the time to walk away completely. The uptrend is still intact, so investors can still buy breakouts, but should focus on stocks with top-tier fundamental and technical metrics.
