Stocks Rebound After Losses, All Eyes On This Week's Inflation Reports

	Profit from the Pros By Kevin Matras Executive Vice President
	Stocks Rebound After Losses, All Eyes On This Week's Inflation Reports Stocks closed mostly higher yesterday, led by the Nasdaq with 0.86%, followed by the small-cap Russell 2000 with 0.77%. Only the Dow missed the cut, giving up -0.16%. Many AI-related stocks that got pummeled on Friday, rebounded sharply on Monday. Marvell gained 9.63%; Micron rallied 9.87%; Advanced Micro Devices was up 5.14%; Intel was up 11.19%; Sandisk was up 5.30%; and NVIDIA added 1.73%. Didn't totally erase Friday's losses. But a good chunk of them. But it does appear some long overdue profit taking was seen. Will it turn into a pullback for the major indexes? It's possible. Pullbacks are defined as a decline between -5% and -9.99%. But they are very common. And they happen on average of 3-4 times a year. Every bull market has them. And it would be perfectly normal if we got one. Especially after the spectacular rally we've seen over the last couple of months. But pullbacks are also short-lived. Since 1990, the typical pullback lasted about 28 days. And if you know pullbacks and corrections are commonplace moves, you can instead look at them as opportunities to buy rather than places to sell. Plus, the AI trade is alive and well. And aside from that, the economy is doing well. Last Friday's employment report shows the labor market is doing well. And corporate earnings are doing well. More than well. They're doing great. Q1'26 earnings season just showed the S&P 500 EPS growth rate at 23.3%. Q2'26 is forecast at 21.2%. Q3'26 is forecast at 18.4%. And Q4'26 is forecast at 20.4%. Not a stretch to expect another double-digit gain this year, to the tune of 20% or more for the S&P 500, given the double-digit growth rates for the rest of the year. Not much in the way of economic reports out yesterday. But today we'll get the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, the International Trade in Goods and Services report, and Existing Home Sales. But the main events this week will be the upcoming inflation reports. On Wednesday we'll get the Consumer Price Index (CPI) retail inflation report, and then on Thursday, we'll get the Producer Price Index (PPI) wholesale inflation report. Inflation has been ticking higher lately. Not as much as expected. But higher nonetheless. Between that and the better-than-expected jobs gains we're seeing, the timeline has already been pushed out for the next rate cut. But the last FOMC Minutes showed some suggesting we could see a rate increase if inflation keeps rising. So all eyes will be on this week's inflation reports. And those will be the last inflation reports we'll get before next week's FOMC Announcement 6/17. In the meantime, we've got a whole rest of the week to get thru first. See you tomorrow, Kevin Matras Executive Vice President, Zacks Investment Research

The Zacks #1 Rank Performance covers the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through April 6, 2026. The performance is the equal weighted performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of stocks with a Zacks Rank of #1 that was rebalanced monthly from January 1988 through December 2013 and weekly from 12/31/13 through Monday's open on April 6, 2026. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the month, the total return during the month was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the closing price of the prior month to the closing price of the current month plus any dividends received during the month. The monthly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the month. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the week, the total return during the week was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the opening price for the week to the opening price of the next week plus any dividends received during the week. The weekly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the week. If no month-end price or week end open price was available for a stock, it was not included in the portfolio return for the month or the week. The monthly and weekly returns were compounded to arrive at the annual returns. The annualized return is the annual return that, had it been achieved in each year or portion of a year, would have compounded to create the total return over the full time period. These returns are based on the list of Zacks Rank #1 Stocks that was available to clients of Zacks as of the beginning of the month, when returns were calculated monthly, or as of the beginning of the week when returns were calculated weekly. These returns are higher than the returns an investor could achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical Zacks Rank #1 portfolio exclude a number of costs, including commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day.
