Yesterday: U.S. indexes finished higher Thursday, extending their winning streak to six sessions, as easing geopolitical tensions lifted investor sentiment and pushed the Dow back into positive territory for the year. Gains were led by the consumer discretionary and industrial sectors, while Treasury yields moved higher, with the 10-year yield at 4.29%. Inflation data was in line with expectations, as headline PCE held steady at 2.8% in February, with a modest uptick in goods prices offset by continued easing in services inflation. Lastly, major averages are on track for notable weekly gains as the Nasdaq is up 4.3%, the S&P 500 and Dow advancing 3.7%, marking one of the best weekly performances since November.

2026 has been rough for most investors. The S&P 500 is down over 4%, and no one seems to agree on what comes next. Tim Melvin's 'Counter-Punch' approach doesn't try to predict the market. It waits for the move… then responds with one of two simple trades designed for that exact moment.
So far this year, those picks are nearly 2-to-1 better than the S&P 500, and one name even jumped 40% in the past few weeks. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
