Dale Smothers says that despite the labor market putting pressure on the economy, he doesn’t think it’s a concern because of market tailwinds partially created by Fed rate cuts. He expects the Fed to continue to cut rates, with another 25 points coming this month. “The market is likely to finish higher because of this AI infrastructure spend,” Dale says, but thinks people may start to pull back from the sector next year. His stock picks include Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and CoreWeave (CRWV); he also likes the GLD ETF, Royal Caribbean (RCL), and Tesla (TSLA).
