Good MorningStocks fell to end the week on Friday with most major indices in negative territory at the end of the day. The move comes just a day after President-elect Biden revealed his plan to heal the economy and the onset of bank earnings. The banks are reporting better than expected results as a group but results are mixed. JP Morgan Chase beat on the top and bottom lines after releasing nearly $2 billion in capital reserves. Citigroup, on the other hand, only beat on the bottom line.
Looking to next week, the market could be in for a bit of a wild ride. The Q4 earnings season kicks into high gear with reports from dozens of America’s smaller banks as well as some higher-profile names. Reports from JB Hunt, Netflix, and Intel will be closely examined for any signs of weakness in the overall recovery and could lead to volatile trading conditions.
