The week started down due to ongoing concerns about peak economic growth and worries about the delta variant of the coronavirus. Stocks tied to the reopening of the economy were the biggest losers. Worries over new regulatory measures in China also seemed to weigh on investor sentiment. But positive earnings surprises helped the market regain its footing over the rest of the week.

3 Top Small-Cap Stocks to Buy for August
Even with a lower than expected GDP figure, the economic recovery is still in full swing. Small-cap stocks, which have historically outperformed their large-cap peers over the long-term, tend to perform well during economic recoveries. This is why investors should consider small-cap stocks such as Greif Inc. (GEF), Inter Parfums, Inc. (IPAR), and Abercrombie & Fitch Company (ANF).
Will the Stock Market Bounce Back Last?
Last Monday, the major benchmarks suffered their worst declines of the year. The rising case count for COVID-19, primarily driven by the highly contagious Delta variant, led to the most significant drop in two months for the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq. It also sent Treasury yields to their most significant decline in over three months. But the market bounced back on Tuesday as investors reconsidered their worries as hospitalizations and deaths are not at the same level they were during the height of the pandemic. The question is, was last week's rally a temporary move higher, or are the rising cases a much larger cause for concern. I will answer that question and give my outlook below, but first, let's recap the week in the markets. Read on below…

(HPQ), and Broadcom Inc. (AVGO).
Does More Volatility Lie Ahead for the Stock Market?
Since last Monday, the markets have been in a risk-off mood, and the reflation trade has continued to sour. This is evident from a variety of perspectives such as long-term Treasury yields continuing to move lower, cyclical stocks have been among the worst performers, and overall indices finally starting to weaken. On an absolute basis, the damage is minimal as the S&P 500 (SPY) is just over 3% off all-time highs, but this is masking more weakness under the surface. As of Monday's close, only 48% of stocks are trading above their 50-day moving average which reflects the market's state from a more bottom-up perspective. It's possible that earnings season could serve as a reprieve. However, we should remain open to the possibility that the market could continue selling-off especially given the gains from the March bottom, and many months since the stock market has been tested with any sort of selling pressure. We’ll dive into these topics and review the market's latest developments below…
