  • High Potential Stocks amidst Mixed Market Sentiment

    High Potential Stocks amidst Mixed Market Sentiment

    It’s a mixed day in the .U.S markets in early morning trading. The NASDAQ is up but the Dow and the S&P 500 are all in the red. This comes following a mix of good and bad news.

    The good news influencing the market today is data showing that jobless claims have dropped below 800k. The U.S Department of Labor data on unemployment insurance claims shows that initial jobless claims for the week that ended on October 24th  stood at 774k, slightly lower than the 787k that was reported a week earlier.

    On top of that, continuing jobless claims for the week that ended on October 17th stood at 7.775 million, compared to a week earlier when those numbers stood at 8.373 million. The latest data marks the 9th week in a row that jobless claims have held below 1 million. For the markets, this is a positive sign that the economy is resilient despite the pandemic and uncertainty of when a stimulus package will be passed.

    \The bad news is that cases of the pandemic continue to rise not just in the U.S but globally. Several countries have gone back to the strict lockdowns that had been put in place when the pandemic started. This has put a dent to hopes of a speedy economic recovery until a definitive vaccine is found.

    According to the Chief Economist for JLL, the rapid increase in cases means that there is a high probability of the government locking down a large part of the economy again. Even in this mixed environment, there are stocks that are set to start the day on a high note. Some of them are as below:
