The market is little changed even as U.S. gross domestic product contracts for a second time — and more in Thursday’s stock market recap.
GDP came in at -0.9%, following the previous quarter’s -1.6%. GDP falling for the second straight quarter sends a strong signal that we’re in or heading into a recession.
This news follows the Federal Reserve’s second consecutive 0.75% interest rate hike, announced at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Wednesday.
Earnings season also continues, with Facebook parent company Meta Platforms Inc. (Nasdaq: META) reporting after the bell Wednesday. The company’s metaverse and virtual reality unit lost $2.8 billion in the second quarter, with more losses expected in the third.
Meanwhile, investors are anticipating reports from Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) after the bell on Thursday.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll reveal Apple and Amazon earnings previews and what to expect… how GDP data and the bond market work together… the top sector to watch right now… whether energy is making a comeback or is a dead cat bounce… what to watch in the next few sessions… plus my top ETF and an option pick for you!

P.S. This New Indicator Is Causing a Big Stir
What fellow trader Lance Ippolito and his New Money Crew team have been working on is nothing short of incredible… It’s something totally different from anything he’s EVER done before.

He thinks it could be a major asset for folks looking to survive — and even thrive — in 2022 and beyond.
Lance is revealing all the details at 11 a.m. EDT TODAY, Thursday, July 28. To get more details on his incredible indicator…
P.P.S. When it comes to trading, every second counts. And in choppy markets like these, often driven by headlines, stocks can make big moves in a flash.
That’s why I want you to get my latest trading ideas and market updates as fast as possible. So I’m rolling out an all-new option for my students to receive trade alerts with Telegram!

Each Thursday, I’ll combine two of my favorite things into a big-money opportunity: options plays and ETFs. Using options, we can turn momentum analysis of a specific sector — or even an entire country’s stock market — into an actionable trade with double- or triple-digit upside potential. I’ll give you all the details you need to execute this plan.
