🔍 Market Outlook: Focus Shifts to Earnings, Trade Data

While large-cap indices may stay subdued, mid- and small-caps are likely to remain in focus due to sector-specific stories and momentum plays.

“This week was all about stock-specific action. Traders should watch for rotational shifts as we head into earnings season,” said Ramesh Shah, Head of Equity Research at AlphaTrade Advisors.
