Markets are ‘teetering’ ahead of key economic data: CEO Scott Bauer | Fox Business Video

Scott Bauer, the CEO of Prosper Trading Academy, discusses the current state of financial markets, which are described as ‘teetering’ as investors await significant economic data releases. He highlights the cautious market sentiment and emphasizes the importance of key upcoming data in influencing market direction. Both Bauer and Tim Urbanowicz, head of research at Innovator Capital, also share their insights on potential ETF picks amid this uncertain climate.

Stock Forecasts

Given the 'teetering' state of the markets, there is a likelihood of increased volatility in the short term. Investors might want to look for ETFs that can provide some level of hedge or defensive positioning. If economic data comes in weaker than expected, the markets could see a downturn, impacting broad ETFs negatively.

Alternatively, if the economic data surprises positively, it could lead to a market rally. In such a case, growth-focused ETFs might benefit as investor confidence rises. However, caution is advised due to the uncertainty ahead of the reports.
