The strong dollar is a stock-market drag and poses a threat to earnings growth
The U.S. dollar has been on a nearly unstoppable uptrend since the start of the second quarter, rising in tandem with government bond yields, while equities got the short end of the stick. Now, investors wonder whether a buoyant buck will derail earnings growth. Since the beginning of April, the ICE U.S. Dollar Index (IFUS:DX-Y.NYB), a popular gauge of the U.S. currency that measures it against six rivals, is up 3.9%.

U.S. Stocks Edge Lower for Week on Trade Worries

Forget the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

US STOCKS-Wall St posts weekly loss as banks, chipmakers weigh
The S&P 500 ended lower on Friday after a choppy trading session as bank and chipmaker stocks weighed on the index and investors grappled with U.S.-China trade talks. China denied accounts by some U.S. officials that it had offered a package to slash the U.S. trade deficit by up to $200 billion, but said the consultations were "constructive," in the latest salvo of tit-for-tat messages to emerge from the high-level meeting. Boeing Co shares rose on hopes for a reduction in the U.S.-China trade deficit, after an American source said the company would be major beneficiary of a narrowed trade gap.

Investor pessimism is falling, but not because they’re suddenly bullish
U.S. investors have turned a little less bearish on the stock market, but it isn’t because they’re suddenly optimistic. With Wall Street apparently aimless, showing few pronounced moves in either direction, market participants have apparently followed suit with their views on where things could be headed. According to the AAII Investor Sentiment Survey, just 20.6% of investors describe themselves as bearish, meaning they expect stocks to be lower six months from now.

Here’s why small-cap stocks can continue to beat their large-cap peers
Small-cap stocks are on a roll, hitting a string of records while their large-cap peers remain stuck in a narrow trading range, and the run of outsize gains may just be getting under way. The Russell 2000 (^RUT), the most popular index for small-cap stocks, has risen in 11 of the past 14 trading days, and it posted its third straight record close on Friday. Morgan Stanley said that the U.S. economy was in the later stages of its economic cycle, which it noted had historically been a weak period for small and midcap stocks in past cycles “because wage pressures and other costs tend to hit these companies harder as they have fewer levers to pull to offset” them.

Here’s what surging oil prices mean for the stock market
Stock-market investors are loving the unexpected surge in oil prices—at least for now. The answer, like the relationship between crude, the U.S. economy and the stock market, has a lot of moving parts. While investors and economists tend to focus on the tug of war between the positive boost to capital spending by oil producers versus the hit to consumer wallets from rising gasoline prices, the near-term threat to equities might manifest itself elsewhere.

US STOCKS-Wall St set for weekly loss as bank and chip stocks weigh
Bank and chipmaker stocks helped pull the S&P 500 into negative territory on Friday, capping a week of choppy trading as trade talks with China, rising U.S. government bond yields and increasing oil prices kept investors on edge. "I think everybody's waiting on some sort of direction on American trade talks that are occurring right now," said Oliver Pursche, vice chairman and chief market strategist at Bruderman Asset Management in New York. China denied accounts by some U.S. officials that it had offered a package to slash the U.S. trade deficit by up to $200 billion, but said the consultations were "constructive," in the latest back-and-forth message to emerge from the high-level summit.
