Good MorningLast week the equities markets drifted higher to set a new all-time high. The caveat for investors is that signs of underlying weakness remain in the market and could be setting the indices up for a fall. Although the bulk of S&P 500 companies are beating their consensus estimates the market was expecting much better and that is not a good thing for equity prices. Not only is the earnings picture dimming but the data is also less than could be desired. While the bulk of the data is positive, none of it suggests an acceleration of economic trends.
This week will be different. Although the earnings cycle is fast coming to a close the economic calendar is full. Among the many reports to be on alert for are Retail Sales, the producer price index, industrial production, business inventories, and housing starts. The surprise reports may be the industrial production and business inventories. The pandemic-driven demand and economic rebound have inventories dwindling and production on the rise.
