Stock futures slip after the S&P 500 suffers its worst week since 2023: Live updates

Published On Sep 8, 2024, 6:13 PM

Barclays has expressed increased caution regarding the luxury goods sector due to structural weaknesses in the Chinese economy, which may lead to significantly negative sales forecasts for brands like Burberry and Kering. This could result in a steep decline in sales, especially during the summer, where declines of up to 50% are anticipated. The overall sentiment in China is poor and any recovery is expected to take time, leading analysts to predict further downward revisions for Kering. Meanwhile, the U.S. jobs market shows resilience, which could affect predictions of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, while stocks such as MarineMax are benefiting from expectations of these rate cuts.

Stock Forecasts

MarineMax is expected to benefit from a potential cut in interest rates, making its stock appealing. With Citi's upgrade and a strong forecast indicating a significant upside, it may be prudent for investors to buy shares.

Nvidia's performance is contingent on future demand for its Blackwell chip, which presents a possible opportunity. Given the current favorable analyst sentiment, investors may consider maintaining a position in Nvidia, although with moderated exposure due to previous gains.

Best Buy stands to gain from a likely cut in interest rates, boosting consumer confidence and housing turnover, making its stock a good buy at this moment. Loop Capital's positive outlook supports this.
