FedEx's upcoming quarterly results will be a crucial test for the recent rally in transportation stocks, indicating the US economy's strength and consumer confidence. The Dow Jones Transportation Average has outperformed the S&P 500 Index over the past week, driven by a shift towards 'old-economy' sectors like energy and industrials.
