Retail sales rise, manufacturing loses steam: what's next for the stock market?

February data revealed a 0.2% increase in US retail sales, signaling robust consumer activity. However, New York's manufacturing activity declined in March, pointing to localized economic weakness.

Despite these mixed signals, the benchmark stock indices maintained their upward momentum, as investors are looking forward to the Fed's policy meeting. Expectations that the central bank will put interest rates on hold are fueling market optimism.

For traders, the current market conditions offer opportunities to capitalize on short-term price swings. Strength in the retail sector could drive consumer stocks higher, while weak manufacturing data boosts demand for safe-haven assets. Read more here.
