A market commentator sees expected profit growth and seasonal trends as support for the S&P 500. Tighter money conditions, wider borrowing-cost gaps for riskier companies, and only half of index stocks rising keep the report balanced, so it does not change SPY's outlook.
Expected company profit growth and a seasonally stronger period could help S&P 500 stocks rise. But tighter money conditions, wider gaps in borrowing costs for riskier companies, and only half of index stocks rising point the other way. The growth figures are estimates, not reported results. The opposing facts keep this commentary from clearly changing SPY's outlook.
