Good MorningThe rebound in equities appears to be over as quickly as it began. The S&P 500 fell about 1.0% at the low of Wednesday's session confirming resistance at the short-term 30-day EMA. The move may gain momentum on Thursday and could be driven by earnings as well economic data. On the earnings front, reports from AT&T, Tractor Supply Company, Phillip Morris, and Genuine Parts Company will give a broad look at the earnings situation which has been in a general decline. On the economic front, reports from the housing sector, the manufacturing sector, and the Index of Leading Indicators will point to what the market should expect from the Q4 season when it rolls around.
Next week could be trying for the market. The next big test will be a double-shot in the form of Peak Earnings and the PCE price index. Peak Earnings will bring over 100 S&P earnings reports including some of the FAANG names including Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. If they report better than expected or give good guidance the market could regain traction and begin putting in a real bottom. The risk is the PCE price index, if it comes in hot on Friday the earnings may not matter. Featured: Do You Own These 7 Inflation-Survival Stocks? (Mauldin Economics)
