The major indexes are up as stocks wrap up a first quarter that saw a crisis among the Financials sector following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and continued rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.
While it was a volatile three months, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to end the quarter with a win, up 5.5% and 14.8%, respectively. The Dow ended the quarter down slightly.
The market also got a boost Friday morning on the latest inflation data.
The core Personal Consumption Expenditures index, which excludes energy and food costs, showed prices increased less than expected for the month of February, coming in at 0.3% versus the 0.4% forecast.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss why I’m nervous about the Technology sector… if Donald Trump’s arrest is impacting stocks… if the bond market is listening to the Fed and what it’s thinking as it approaches its next meeting… which sectors are the most vulnerable right now… what algo traders are doing to the market in the last few sessions… if the trading action on the S&P 500 is sustainable… plus how I’m playing the market right now!

P.S. NEW Scanner and a Debut Trading Session
Lance Ippolito has been working on something behind the scenes for a while now, and it’s finally ready for the grand reveal…
It’s a brand-new options scanner. And what makes it different from anything he’s developed before is its ability to show only the opportunities he’s willing to consider trading!
In other words, it filters out everything that’s not worth the time or money…
And now, Lance is watching it spit out opportunities on First Republic Bank, Mattel, Google and Tesla… just to name a few!
Lance is about to reveal how the scanner works in a special live trading session at 1:30 p.m. ET today, March 31!
