In Tuesday’s market update, Stephen Whiteside reviews heightened pre-market volatility driven by UnitedHealth weakness, while tech stocks remain strong ahead of major earnings and a Federal Reserve decision. He discusses global efforts to reduce reliance on U.S. technology and dollar assets, highlighting risks tied to currency movements, the Japanese yen carry trade, and potential impacts on U.S. equities.
Stephen also examines sector and stock-specific trends across U.S. and Canadian markets, including precious metals strength, rising market volatility, and mixed signals in autos and tech.
