Good MorningEquity markets rebounded on Tuesday, the S&P 500 gaining more than 1.0% at the session's high, as investors shrugged off geopolitical concerns in favor of bargain hunting. The biggest moves were in big tech, with names NVIDIA advancing more than 4% and most FAANG and AI-related stocks up 1.5% to 2%. The caveat for investors is that volatility remains high, and Wednesday's trading may reverse sentiment, keeping the index in a tight range near record highs.
Volatility will likely persist this week and into next for two reasons. The first is inflation data, which is due out on Thursday. The second is earnings from the big banks, which is due on Friday. The CPI data is expected to show another cool-down of inflation relative to the prior month and year, while bank earnings may be mixed. JPMorgan warned that investment income would fall short of the analysts' estimates; the question is if other segments were able to offset the weakness.
