Yesterday’s inflation report showed the highest year-over-year reading in almost three years. Even after stripping out energy prices, core PCE is sitting at a multi-year high. But investors have still been looking through the data and leaning into the tech trade, observes Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro US.

A stronger-than-expected April jobs report gave investors a second straight upside surprise, a welcome development after an uneven stretch for the labor market. Payrolls rose while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, although average hourly earnings were a bit light, writes Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro US.

Tech has had an impressive rebound so far this quarter, with semiconductors leading the charge. Now, investors are hoping mega-cap tech can help further fuel the breakout, as Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Meta Platforms Inc. (META), and Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) all report earnings this week, notes Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro US.
Following disappointing readings in December and January, February’s retail sales report offered some reassurance. It was the strongest reading since July, while core retail sales and control group sales, the portion that feeds into GDP, also came in ahead of economists’ expectations, observes Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro US.
