Following the minor 3% pullback at the start of August, the stock market timidly climbed back, with a few small hiccups driven by anticipation of upcoming economic news. Most of those reports turned out to be less than encouraging — a weaker jobs report and higher-than-expected inflation — yet the market displayed notable resilience. This aligns with the view we shared in our last update: most of our metrics leaned on the bullish side, which did not support a sharp downside move, but neither were they bullish enough to suggest a strong rally.
