Good MorningEquity markets pulled back more than 1%to start the week as traders and investors brace for the peak of earnings season. There are 73 S&P 500 companies reporting this week including 7 Dow components so the impact on the market could be tremendous. The general expectation is for earnings to beat the consensus but by the smallest margin in years and for the guidance to be weak, a trend that will weigh on the market moving forward. In regard to the outlook for earnings, the outlook for Q2 results ticked up a hair over the past week but consensus estimates for Q3, Q4, the full year 2022, and full year 2023 are all moving lower.
On the economic front, the next big hurdle for the market is the July FOMC meeting. The meeting isn't for two more weeks, however, but it comes before the next read on inflation. After the latest CPI and PPI data, the market should be ready for a 100 basis point rate hike or at least the indication a 100 bps hike is on the way. Between then and now, the most important data point on the calendar is the Index of Leading Indicators and we expect to see a third consecutive month of negative growth.
