Friday Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades: Carnival, Farfetch, Fortinet, Materialise, Switch Teva Pharma and More
Published:
Markets were mixed going into the weekend giving back their gains from Thursday. However, this tumultuous trading that has happened over the past week could signal some optimism as the broad markets are bouncing back. The labor market has improved and interest rates are rising, both positive signs in the fight against inflation.
Even though there is obvious strength in the labor market as more Americans are returning to work, inflation is still a top concern for many. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has been fairly sanguine on the labor market recently, and this has contributed in part to the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates going forward.
