The loss of earnings momentum that was priced in a few months ago as the Tariff Tantrum was raging will now be put to the test as Q2 earnings seasons gets going in another week, while the 90-day cooling off period comes to an end.

Furthermore, with financial conditions loosening, earnings revisions (which are clearly correlated) could bounce as well. The new fiscal bill should also lift earnings, as well as capex.
