Good MorningEquity markets advanced on Monday, and the S&P 500 gained about 0.5% at the session's high as equities hovered near record highs. The last two weeks of trading days have kept the market in a tight range while earnings were released. Now, about halfway through the season, the market is ready to advance again and needs only a catalyst. That may come with earnings reports from Microsoft and Advanced Micro Devices this week, but the most significant catalyst is NVIDIA earnings, which aren't due for another month. Analysts continue to raise the bar for NVIDIA, with the consensus estimate up 500 points in October, forecasting an 80% increase in revenue.
The market faces hurdles this week. These include a trifecta of economic data, including the Q3 GDP estimate, the PCE price index, and the NFP report. GDP is due on Wednesday and is likely hot, with the GDPNow Tool tracking in the 3% range. The PCE index and labor data may also be hot, which is bad news for inflation and lower interest rates. The upshot is that solid GDP growth and labor markets underpin consumer spending, which drives the U.S. economy and will support higher stock prices.
