Good MorningEquities continue to tread water near all-time highs on Tuesday. The broad market S&P 500 traded within a very tight range but did manage to set a new all-time intraday high. The market is being supported by a robust earnings season and the outlook for earnings growth but held back by increasing risk to the outlook. While the average S&P 500 company is beating its consensus estimate by a wide margin, the index is facing an earnings cliff in the form of a greatly reduced pace of growth.
The next quarter’s earnings season is the first quarter of tough comparisons versus the pandemically-boosted quarters of 2020 and poses a big risk to the market. With the Delta variant rapidly spreading, and the threat to the global supply chain growing, there is a serious risk the S&P 500 will not match their earnings expectations in the second half of the year.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
