Stock Forecasts

ABNB

Positive

Given the optimism surrounding US-Russia peace talks, there could be a positive momentum for stocks involved in technology and other sectors that may benefit from reduced geopolitical tensions. Additionally, companies like Airbnb and Coinbase could perform well after earnings reports, especially if expectations are met or exceeded.

XOM

Negative

With inflation still a pressing concern, stocks such as Exxon Mobil, affected by falling oil prices, may continue to struggle if inflation data does not support easing pressure on prices. The energy sector is vulnerable if Trump proceeds with new tariffs, potentially harming investor confidence.
