Good MorningEquity markets rallied on Friday but don't read too much into that news. The market rallied, but it failed to reclaim the 4,000 level after confirming resistance earlier in the week. This move is consistent with consolidation within a downtrend and is not unexpected with Q4 earnings season about to crash upon the market. The news so far is that Q4 was better than expected, but the outlook for the 1st half of 2023 is still in decline.
Next week will be a key week for the S&P 500, with economic data and earnings as possible catalysts. On the earnings front, reports from at least 2 dozen S&P 500 companies are on tap, while the economic calendar includes the 1st look at Q4 GDP, the Index of Leading Indicators and the PCE Price Index. Of the 3, the PCE Price Index is the most important, but the takeaway for the week will be what the outlook for 1st half earnings looks like relative to today. Featured: The A.I.
