Wall Street is starting the week with record highs, but Benoist Rousseau quickly points to the real test: earnings season. In this episode, he connects high valuations, expectations of sharply rising profits, very low credit spreads, and a potential stock market disappointment. He details the contrast between a solid Dow Jones, a more hesitant Nasdaq, and an S&P 500 driven by a handful of giants. He then recalls a precedent with General Electric and expectations being beaten by the exact cent. The watchword: caution in the face of an expensive and overly confident market.

Risk Warning: Trading in leveraged financial instruments may expose you to a risk of loss exceeding deposits and is only suitable for experienced clients who have sufficient financial means to bear such risk. Transactions in foreign exchange instruments (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), Futures, Stocks, ETFs... are highly speculative and particularly complex and carry a high level of risk due to leverage. You must ensure that you understand how these instruments work and that you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Every investor must make their own judgment before investing in a financial product to ensure it is suitable for their financial, tax and legal situation.
