Good MorningEquity markets reversed Thursday’s gains on a double-dose of bad news. First, the Federal Reserve stress tests of the U.S. banking system came up wanting. That means, despite the appearance of sufficient capitalization, the banks are at risk in the current environment. What it means for the equities market is no more share buybacks or dividend increases from the banking sector this year.
The second bit of bad news comes from Texas. The Lone Star State rolled-back its reopening plans, reinstating social-distancing lockdown measures, as the number of new cases skyrockets. The risk for markets now is that more states will do the same. The news was not all bad however, shares of discount retailer Big Lots surged nearly 30% after the company raised its full-year guidance to a range well above consensus. Next week, investors will be on alert for the June payrolls report, a figure that could make or break the market.
