US equity outlook turns cautiously optimistic ahead of major earnings
The US market tone for the week beginning November 17 shifted to a moderately bullish stance, with investors preparing for a dense earnings calendar led by Nvidia. The S&P 500 ended last Friday nearly unchanged as traders balanced optimism in semiconductor and AI-linked sectors against concerns around inflation resilience. Markets now await fresh macro signals through updated retail sales trends, PMI readings, and job data, all of which could influence rate-cut expectations. 
Positioning remains sensitive to volatility as institutional participants reassess exposure across technology and consumer discretionary segments.
