Global Stocks Rise on Earnings Optimism Amid Investment Concerns

Several ETFs are currently presenting buying opportunities as they show long-term uptrends with their 50-day moving averages above their 200-day averages, while also trading below their five-day averages, signaling a potential 'buy on the dip' scenario for investors. Rigetti Computing (RGTI) experienced a 30% pullback after a rapid 250% rally, but its bullish long-term trend remains intact, with technical indicators suggesting a buying opportunity near support levels; analysts remain optimistic about its growth, especially ahead of its upcoming earnings report. Meanwhile, despite major US indexes being flat or positive, there is underlying market turbulence, particularly impacting momentum stocks. Broader economic indicators show mixed signals with easing global trade tensions and optimism around U.S. earnings, yet concerns persist due to falling house prices and declining fixed asset investment, which may pose risks to Q4 GDP growth. President Donald Trump anticipates a "fair" trade deal with China and is actively pursuing rare earths agreements with countries like Australia, signaling ongoing diplomatic and economic engagement. Investors are also cautious as surges in gold and other precious metals reflect anxieties about economic stability despite record highs in some markets.
