Corporate gains lift sentiment, but recession risks linger

Equities are supported by strong corporate earnings and upbeat messaging around potential trade agreements. This environment has helped lift indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. However, economic data is beginning to flash warning signs of a possible slowdown, which could cap further gains in the months ahead.

The current rally is sustained largely by expectations of monetary easing and trade progress, but investors are increasingly paying attention to weakening labor and consumer data. These factors may trigger a market correction in the near term.
