Earnings reports, oil price changes and rising Treasury yields gave investors a lot to think about this week. By Friday’s close, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average all ended lower, with the Nasdaq dropping the most.
What happened this week:
- S&P 500 tests short‑term support
- How to get more from a stock screener
- Reminder about the summer discount
The S&P 500 is now sitting at a short‑term level that many traders watch on a daily chart. The index has moved very little over the last two days, so the market does not give many clues about what might happen next.
This indecision makes planning for the coming week harder. With earnings from four big‑cap companies and a Federal Reserve meeting on the calendar, the next few days could be volatile. How can you get ready for a possible roller‑coaster?
One option is to look at dividend‑paying stocks, which can add some stability. Another is to focus on sectors that are showing strength. You might also want a list of companies that will report earnings next week, so you can watch for price moves after the reports.
Choosing the right stocks from thousands can be tough. This is where a stock screener tool can help. It lets you filter stocks by many criteria, making it easier to find those that match your style.
In a short video, a chief strategist shows practical tips and creative ways to use the screener. Grab a snack, pour a drink, click the image below, and watch the guide.
Whether you want stocks that are pulling back, leading sectors, upcoming earnings, or dividend payers, the screener can help you build a focused watchlist. Try different filters and head into next week with a clear plan.
