Market rally cools off in August
After a strong rally in the stock market in the first half of the year, August saw a slowdown in performance. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 experienced a bumpy road with several quick drawdowns. However, market strategist Art Hogan believes that this is a seasonally tough period and historically, August and September have been rough months after a strong start. Despite the recent market turbulence, Hogan remains bullish and expects the market to grind higher in the coming months, with a focus on underperforming sectors that are starting to gain traction, such as energy and industrials. He also highlights the outperformance of small-cap stocks and anticipates a continued uptrend in the Russell 2000 index.
