The S&P 500 (SPX) notched a new high Thursday, but with some caveats. Kevin Green notes that while the chart still looks bullish, some warning signs are flashing, including weak market breadth and declining volume. He's keeping an eye on communication services and financials, which are showing signs of stalling, and points to AI and power as two themes that are still going strong. KG also weighs in on the government shutdown, which he says is a day-to-day risk to investor sentiment, and notes that gold is trading more like a risk-on asset than a safe haven. Meanwhile, Applied Materials (AMAT) is under pressure after announcing that new U.S. export rules will limit its ability to sell semiconductor equipment to China.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

With the U.S. government shutdown in effect, the market's initial reaction has been relatively calm says Kevin Green, but that could change if the stalemate continues. The 10-year yield is currently flat, and the dollar is holding steady, but a prolonged shutdown could lead to a sell-off in equities and a flight to safety in Treasuries. KG notes that the ADP jobs report will take on added importance in the absence of the non-farm payrolls data, which was scheduled for Friday. For today's session, KG's S&P 500 (SPX) targets for the day are 6675 to the upside and 6600 to the downside, with a focus on defensive sectors like utilities, consumer staples, and healthcare.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Charles Schwab's Kevin Horner says the SPX's 20-day SMA can "very well" provide continued support for the index with "few and far between" breaks since April lows. In stock movers, Kevin points out a support range in Celsius (CELH) by widening the view in an 18-month chart. He later talks about the "intriguing" move in Lyft Inc. (LYFT) that opened the door for bulls.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Kevin Green expects a "cautiously optimistic" finish to the year for the market, despite potential pain points on the horizon, including a government shutdown and earnings season. KG notes that a short shutdown would likely be shrugged off by the market, but a longer one could have broader economic implications. He also points to the strength in technology stocks, particularly in the A.I. and semiconductor spaces, with Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) getting price target hikes from analysts. KG's S&P 500 (SPX) targets are 6685 to the upside and 6600 to the downside, warning of potential volatility around the quarter's end.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Indrani De discusses the shifting macroeconomic landscape and its implications for global trade and markets. Indrani highlights five reasons why international equities, particularly in emerging markets, may continue to outperform the US, despite recent catch-up in the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq (NDX), citing higher earnings growth forecasts, lower valuations, and the momentum shift in capital flows. She also notes the potential for fixed income to play a greater role in portfolios, particularly in inflation-linked bonds, high yield, and emerging market bonds, given the current inflationary environment and rising interest rates. Additionally, Indrani touches on the continued strength of gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

As the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq-100 (NDX) see their first down week in months, one investor believes we're still in the early stages of a bubble, similar to 1997's dotcom era. Joe Hegener joins Nicole Petallides to map out his case saying the only thing that could burst this bubble is a Fed rate hike, which he doesn't see happening soon. Instead, he expects the bubble to be fueled by potential rate cuts and fiscal stimulus. Joe's bullish on tech and A.I. in the short term but warns of a potential 20% drawdown and recommends a diversified portfolio with exposure to healthcare, cybersecurity, and biotech.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

On the stock side of things, KG is watching Intel (INTC) as the chipmaker is reportedly seeking an investment from Apple (AAPL).

Stocks may be due for a breather after a recent record run, but the broader trend remains bullish, according to Kevin Green. The S&P 500 (SPX) could still test new highs, with KG eyeing 6690 as key resistance, while 6630 could act as support. Meanwhile, A.I. mania continues to drive gains in tech, with Alibaba (BABA) rising 10% after unveiling a $50 billion A.I. spending plan and a new language model. Elsewhere, Lithium Americas (LAC) is surging 70% on a report the U.S. government may take a stake in the lithium miner, as Washington looks to secure domestic supplies of the key E.V. metal.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Mary Ann Bartels is looking for the SPX to hit 7K by the end of the year, and 7.2K early next year. However, she also describes the market as overbought with “very high valuations.” She notes that historically, October creates “bottoms” that act as buying opportunities, and Mary Ann argues we could see a 10% pullback before the next leg higher. Her top picks are in the semiconductor sector, saying we're still “very early cycle.” She also examines some ETFs for opportunities.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Maja Vujinovic and Benjamin Tsai build a bullish case for cryptocurrencies in the months and years ahead. Maja says the current momentum will drive institutions to accelerate regulatory adoption in governments and companies. Ben says that a lot of institutional investors remain on the sidelines and will only bolster crypto markets once they buy in. Another case both panelists make for a bullish push: IPOs and crypto-centric companies being added to the SPX.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

“The animal spirits are loose.” Russell Hackmann reacts to continued market records. He sees the Fed's rate cut path as supportive for equities. He advises retired or near-retirement investors to take some chips off the table, though, noting that the SPX has more than doubled in the last five years. He's “definitely concerned” about inflation continuing as the Fed begins to cut, along with high government spending.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Fed is fighting the wrong battle, Paul Schatz argues, saying that even though inflation is warmer right now, it's ultimately under control. In fact, he argues that the Fed is “always behind the curve,” discussing the rate cut path he sees ahead, and the one he thinks they should take. “The math says” that the SPX will be at 7,000 by 1Q of 2026, he forecasts. He likes small caps and financials, among other sectors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this discussion, I share my thoughts on the backdrop for both SPX realized and implied volatility, as I explore the question of whether there is value in optionality. We have 3 things going in terms of realized vol at the index level. It's low, it's especially low on SPX down days, and it's remarkably stable. My take is that the combination here can play tricks on how we think about risk. We are prone to letting our guards down. Next, I share a 5-part framework for addressing the question, “is insurance worth it?”. I find that certain proxy hedges like HYG provide excellent value at current ultra-skinny option premium levels. Next, I review the GOAT (Great Opportunities and Threats) portfolio which overlays gold and bitcoin as diversifying assets and index put spreads as insurance on a base portfolio that is long the SPX. The risk-return characteristics of the GOAT are decidedly better than those of the SPX in 2025. I also explore the pricing of SPX vol skew and how it is a headwind for collar hedging trades. Lastly, the topic of correlation is on my mind, especially as it is an input into structured derivatives trades that often cost too much. I hope you enjoy the discussion and find it useful. Have a great week.
