Stephen Whiteside delivers the morning market outlook for March 26, noting stock index futures are below fair value ahead of jobless claims while crude oil rises and gold and silver fall. Although several buy signals appeared after Wednesday’s trading, he urges caution, suggesting traders avoid chasing the market and consider only partial positions.
Materials led gains in both Canada and the U.S., while energy lagged and financials showed mixed signals with select bank stocks turning bullish. Airline stocks are improving, but the overall message is risk management: cover shorts, avoid aggressive buying, and wait for stronger confirmation before committing capital.
