Volatility isn’t done, but the market bottom could be in, says Arnim Holzer – barring an “unorthodox” move from the White House. He sees recession risk, but says we’ve been expecting one for around nine months, and forecasts a rate cut in June or July. “Even an indication” that Powell will be more flexible could be enough for small or mid cap strength, he argues. ======== Schwab Network ======== E...

The rising A.I. software company posted 55% revenue increase year-over-year that includes extensive commercial growth, but European sales lagged.
