Stock Forecasts

Given the current market sentiment focused on economic indicators like the jobs report and geopolitical risks, there's a high chance of further volatility. If the jobs report shows stronger than expected job growth, it could lead to a bullish sentiment temporarily. However, with the ongoing geopolitical tensions, this could reverse quickly, making the outlook cautious.
