Buyers and sellers. What drives a market? News\u2014and there is lots of it today. We have earnings, economic data, geopolitics, AI developments, and Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh&#8217;s confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee at 10:00 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we also have is a market that is trading with a positive bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the S&amp;P 500 futures are up 17 points and are trading 0.3% above fair value, the Nasdaq 100 futures are up 74 points and are trading 0.3% above fair value, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 243 points and are trading 0.5% above fair value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the interest of time and space, we&#8217;ll encapsulate here the basis for the positive bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dow component\u00a0<strong>UnitedHealth (UNH)<\/strong>\u00a0is up 7.5% after topping Q1 earnings estimates, aided by a lower-than-expected medical cost ratio, and issuing above-consensus FY26 guidance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is optimism about a positive outcome from the U.S. and Iran talks in Pakistan this week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Amazon (AMZN)<\/strong>\u00a0and Anthropic announced an expanded partnership, whereby Amazon will invest up to $25 billion in Anthropic and Anthropic will spend more than $100 billion over the next 10 years on AWS technologies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apple (AAPL)<\/strong>\u00a0is down marginally after announcing Tim Cook will step down as CEO and become Executive Chairman, effective September 1. John Ternus, Sr. VP of Hardware Engineering, will be the next CEO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday&#8217;s resilience to selling interest after a huge run has sparked a fear of missing out on further gains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is an expectation that Kevin Warsh will convey a belief at his confirmation hearing that productivity gains driven by AI can create a pathway for lowering interest rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re going to carve out some extra space for economic data, as we typically do, but that isn&#8217;t helping the cause as much on closer inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total retail sales increased 1.7% month-over-month in March (Briefing.com consensus: 1.3%), driven by a 15.5% increase in gasoline sales, following an upwardly revised 0.7% increase (from 0.6%) in February. Excluding autos, retail sales surged 1.9% (Briefing.com consensus: 0.9%) following an upwardly revised 0.7% increase (from 0.5%) in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key takeaway from the report is that retail sales look great from a headline perspective, but higher gas prices and higher prices in general were the main drivers. Excluding gasoline sales, retail sales were up 0.6% month-over-month, which looks good, but remember retail sales are not adjusted for price changes. Accordingly, it becomes evident that the sales gains in March were driven more by higher prices than increased volume, which is a better indication of demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the demand for stocks is there this morning, with market participants clutching to good news over bad and retaining hope that the Iran war won&#8217;t have a lasting and negative impact on the global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted April 21, 2026 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.briefing.com\/page-one\">Clutching to good news and high hopes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Briefing.com Summary:<\/p>\n<p>*Yesterday&#8217;s resilience to selling efforts has fostered some fear of missing out on further gains.<\/p>\n<p>*There is hope of a positive outcome from the U.S. and Iran talks in Pakistan this week.<\/p>\n<p>*March retail sales looked strong, but that strength comes with an asterisk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":238041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,6,8,9,22,26,3],"tags":[],"contributors-categories":[13589],"class_list":{"0":"post-241806","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-macro","8":"category-north-america","9":"category-region","10":"category-securities","11":"category-stocks","12":"category-text-articles","13":"category-traders-insight","14":"contributors-categories-briefing-com"},"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Clutching to good news and high hopes | Traders&#039; Insight<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Briefing.com Summary:*Yesterday&#039;s resilience to selling efforts has fostered some fear of missing out on further gains.*There is hope of a positive...\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241806\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Clutching to good news and high hopes | IBKR Campus US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Briefing.com Summary:*Yesterday&#039;s resilience to selling efforts has fostered some fear of missing out on further gains.*There is hope of a positive outcome from the U.S. and Iran talks in Pakistan this week.*March retail sales looked strong, but that strength comes with an asterisk.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/clutching-to-good-news-and-high-hopes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IBKR Campus US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-04-21T14:15:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-21T15:06:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/market-outlook-featured-img.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"563\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Patrick J.
