Stocks are poised for a rebound on Thursday, driven by a strong quarterly report from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).

While traders remain vigilant on Fed rhetoric, economic indicators, and the ECB’s rate decision, broader market sentiment is optimistic. A robust earnings season, growing expectations of Fed rate cuts, and an uptick in Trump’s electoral prospects are underpinning this bullish outlook.

Investors anticipate the first Fed rate cut in September, which is expected to boost risk-on assets. However, delaying investment decisions until then could mean missing out on potential gains as the market has already begun pricing in this possibility.

Despite considerations like tracking error and tax implications, the S&P 500 appears increasingly attractive due to solid Q2 earnings and the prospect of lower interest rates by year-end.

Overall, a confluence of positive factors suggests a promising short-term trajectory for the stock market.

You’re spot on about the potential for a market rebound. I’d also keep in mind that while the anticipation of rate cuts is boosting sentiment, there could be volatility if the Fed’s actions or statements deviate from expectations.
