Market Direction Week Review: Stocks ended the week and the quarter on a high note, rising globally. The S&P 500 recorded its strongest quarterly performance in a decade, rising 13% and leaving the index 3% off its all-time high¹. The market rebound during the quarter was fueled by the Federal Reserve's pivot in rate hikes, better-than-expected earnings results, and optimism that a U.S. - China trade deal will be reached. Small- and mid-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks, which in turn outperformed international stocks. Commodities were up significantly, driven by a 30% surge in oil prices following OPEC's production cuts.

How the market finished last week, the S&P 500 up 1.2%, the Nasdaq up 1.1%, and the Dow up 1.7%.

Market Direction This Week: Next week is going to be as busy as it was this week on the economic front. Probably the two reports that have the most market-moving potential are Monday’s Retail Sales report and Friday’s monthly employment data.

The on-going U.S.-China trade discussions, Brexit votes on Monday and Wednesday are some other important market direction keys.

Expect volatility to continue this week as the index averages are near all-time highs.

For the market direction abroad, this week UK and China release PMI reports.

Economic Calendar: Retail Sales (4/1), ISM Manufacturing Index (4/1), ADP Employment (4/3), Employment Report (4/5)

Some of the major earnings announcements on deck: WBA, PLAY, STZ, LW, RPM.
