Wall Street experienced heightened volatility as renewed trade tensions between the US and China rattled investor sentiment. The uncertainty surrounding these negotiations led to sharp movements across equities, with many investors reassessing their positions ahead of upcoming earnings reports and policy updates.
Earnings season is also in full swing, with several major companies preparing to announce their quarterly results. Investors will be keeping a close eye on names such as Coca-Cola, GE Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, RTX Corporation, General Motors, Netflix, Tesla, Vertiv, American Airlines, Intel, Kinross Gold, and Honeywell. Surprises in earnings or outlooks could drive share prices higher.
Pullbacks resulting from geopolitical uncertainty often present attractive entry points for long-term investors. Stocks such as dividend-paying stocks may trade at more reasonable valuations as their next payout dates approach.
