Good MorningEquity markets hovered near break-even on Friday after rebounding from recent lows in the previous session. The move came despite a shockingly low non-farm payrolls figure that raises serious questions about the future of S&P 500 earnings. With the number of job openings at record levels and growing, there is no way for businesses to meet their revenue and earnings targets. Worse, the longer some of these jobs go unfilled the greater the damage to the global supply chain.
This week investors will be turning their attention to the earnings season and specifically the big banks. All of the big banks are slotted to report earnings this week and there is a high expectation for earnings growth and capital returns to shareholders. If the banks fail to meet the consensus estimates it could spell trouble for the index at large. The true peak of the earnings season will begin the following week.
