In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Aug 3, 2026), Samantha LaDuc believes markets are benefiting from a powerful combination of dollar weakness, supportive earnings, delayed Fed tightening expectations, yen intervention, and improving sentiment toward hyperscalers.
While semiconductor stocks remain the market’s weakest area and Treasury yields above 4.8% remain a major risk, she expects the S&P 500 to challenge the 7584 gap-fill level, with 7726 becoming the next upside target if resistance is decisively broken.
She characterizes the current advance as a positive gamma, growth-led reflexive rally, but warns traders to stay alert for a fake breakout before chasing higher prices.
