Stock Market Update Weekend Edition Sunday 4-20-2025

Stock Market Update Weekend Edition Sunday 4-20-2025 Is market volatility decreasing as the VIX index is below 30? The expected price fluctuation for the S&P 500 has significantly decreased to 140 points, indicating a period of low volatility. However, major tech companies are releasing earnings reports, numerous Federal Reserve officials are speaking, important manufacturing data is being released, and President Trump's daily comments are constantly in the news. This period of calm may be temporary before increased market activity. The markets may be too quiet right now.📉

Last week's stock market activity suggests that U.S. stocks have likely hit a short-term low, and we could see a positive move upward in May, although it might be uneven. Several signs point to this: a lot of stocks were sold off quickly, trading volume was high, and investor pessimism was unusually strong.
