Good MorningEquity markets advanced on Monday, extending the rebound that began last week. Mixed news has investors on edge, but bank earnings suggest a solid reporting season for the S&P 500, lifting it by more than 1.0%. If the index can post earnings growth, it will be the first time in several quarters, putting the index on track to extend the 2023 gains in 2024. The question is what kind of guidance the reporting season will bring, and the odds favor downward revisions. In this scenario, lift the market gets from the Q3 reporting cycle could be short-lived.
The market is bracing for a week filled with economic reports, Fed-speak, and earnings reports. Releases due include Philly Fed and Empire State manufacturing surveys, retail sales, the Beige Book, and at least 11 speaking appearances by Fed members. Any of these events may include insight into the Fed's next move. Because the market is still undecided about the peak of rates, unexpected news of any kind could spark market volatility including rallies or corrections.
