Good MorningThis week’s trading got off to a shaky start following the last week’s big declines. All four of the major indices fell during the session with the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite in the lead. The hotter-than-expected reads on inflation and weaker-than-expected labor market data have Wall Street nervous. On the one hand, it looks like inflation is here and needs to be contained while on the other it looks like economic reopening is stalling. In regards to the Fed and the economy, it may turn into a no-win situation.
This week will be another big test for the market because many of the biggest winners of the pandemic are reporting their earnings. Earnings from Target, Home Depot, Walmart, and Lowes are expected to be strong which sets up a situation in which good isn’t good enough. If these big-name market winners fail to impress investors the entire market could be in for another round of selling.
