The Markets
Stocks slipped on Thursday as a disappointing reaction to earnings from Walmart (WMT) and ongoing tariff concerns had traders on edge. The S&P 500 Index closed lower by just over four-tenths of one percent, still maintaining levels slightly above the 6100 hurdle that acted as a cap to upside momentum over the past couple of months. The benchmark is managing to remain resilient above the 20-day moving average (6073), despite the apparent loss of excitement to buy around present heights. Momentum indicators have negatively diverged from price since the middle of last year, highlighting the waning enthusiasm investors had been expressing towards tech-heavy (Mag-7) benchmarks, like this, amidst extreme valuations.
