Good MorningTraders were cautious but hopeful on Monday with what will be the busiest week of the Q4 earnings season ahead. There are 118 S&P 500 slated to report this week, more than 20% of the index, with nearly half of the Dow components on tap as well. Topping the list will be Apple, the market’s most loved stock, and its outlook for iPhone sales in 2021. If the company falls short of the analyst’s expectation it will weigh heavily on all the major indices. Shares of Apple gained 3.0% to trade at a new all-time split-adjusted high.
Along with the earnings reports, there are a host of economic data for investors to be aware of. The most important may be the FOMC meeting on Wednesday but little is expected in the way of change or surprises. Beyond that, the 1st reading of Q4 GDP is expected to show 4.6% economic growth in the final quarter of the year.
