Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research highlighted that the second half of February is usually riskier for the S&amp;P 500 returns. He mapped the data from 1950 to 2024, which showed that on average, the index has declined consistently after peaking on Feb. 15.

Highlighting the fixed income opportunities, Scott Wren, the senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo said that investors should move money out of short-term instruments and into higher-yielding investment-grade fixed income further out on the maturity spectrum.
&#8220;We have conviction around our year-end target range of 4.50% – 5.00% for the U.S. 10-year Treasury note, and on that basis, we see attractive fixed-income opportunities for investors,&#8221; he said.

Brady Sees 2025 Adj EPS Guidance Of $4.40-$4.70 Vs. $4.59 Est.

U.S. stocks could get off to a tentative start on Monday after investors switched to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/42017118/stocks-tumble-as-traders-rethink-feds-action-vix-spikes-17-nasdaq-erases-back-post-trump-gains-whats-driving-markets-friday">risk-on mode last week</a> as the post-election rally lost some of its steam.
Economic data and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's comments about the future of rate cuts put the sentiment on a dampener. Powell said the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is not in a hurry after economic data showed strength.
Expectations of a further 25 basis point rate cut in December have fallen to just 62% now, down from 72% last week, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group's FedWatch tool.

Insights From Analysts:
Wells Fargo's Jay Bryson thinks the recent surge in inflation could needle the Fed to reevaluate its pace of rate cuts.
"Slower progress on inflation in recent months may prompt the Fed to reevaluate its pace of easing moving forward," he said.
On the other hand, investors will keep a close eye on earnings from AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), while Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investors will be interested in President-elect Donald Trump's policy outlook on regulations for autonomous driving.
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, maintained his bullish outlook on equities.
"The S&amp;P 500 is looking at back-to-back 20% gains. The four previous times it did this (since WWII) the next year did this: 2.6%, 31%, 26.7%, 19.5%."
He underscored that while it's not unwise to be cautious about the ongoing rally, investors should not base their concerns on the upward movement so far.

Nathan Peterson, Director of Derivatives Analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, laid<a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/weekly-traders-outlook/"> out</a> the thesis for market movements for the next week.
"I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see an attempt to rally from these levels at the beginning of the week if we can bounce from today&#8217;s lows into the close," Peterson said.
"Further rotation out of the largest market cap sector, Information Technology, or a negative response to Nvidia&#8217;s guidance, leading to a further downdraft in overall price action."
Peterson continues to maintain a cautious stance and noted that investors will wait for Nvidia earnings with bated breath.

Earnings Preview: Brady

While &quot;the trend is your friend&quot; when it comes to short-term investing or trading, timing entries into the trend is a key determinant of success. And increasing the odds of success by making sure the sustainability of a trend isn&#39;t easy.
The trend often reverses before exiting the trade, leading to a short-term capital loss for investors. So, for a profitable trade, one should confirm factors such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. that could keep the momentum in the stock alive.
Our &quot;Recent Price Strength&quot; screen, which is created on a unique short-term trading strategy, could be pretty useful in this regard. This predefined screen makes it really easy to shortlist the stocks that have enough fundamental strength to maintain their recent uptrend. Also, the screen passes only the stocks that are trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
There are several stocks that passed through the screen:
<h2>Brady</h2>
(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brc#NYSE">BRC</a>) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a solid choice for &quot;trend&quot; investing.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors&#39; continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. BRC is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 7.5% over this period.
However, it&#39;s not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn&#39;t reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It&#39;s important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 0.5% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this identification and security products maker.
Moreover, BRC is currently trading at 92.2% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which means it is in the top 5% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock&#39;s near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Another factor that confirms the company&#39;s fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock&#39;s near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in BRC may not reverse anytime soon.
