Good MorningEquity markets started the week on uncertain footing, moving up to set a new all-time high but failing to hold the gain through to the close. The market may indicate a top or simply caution among bulls, which is appropriate. The economy is expanding, and the market is rising, but not without risks. Among them is the FOMC, which can't be counted on to cut rates as fast as the market expects. Another is consumer health, which may have taken a downturn at the start of the year. Channel checks among major merchants show a slowdown in spending in January that may show up in the guidance given by retailers.
Earnings may present a headwind to the market as the year progresses. The Q4 results are largely in alignment with expectations, which includes a decline in the outlook for 2024. As it is, the consensus figures are falling for all four quarters in 2024, and much of the growth is still expected in the back half. If the decline continues, the Q1 period may produce an earnings decline, contrary to the outlook now. Featured: 5 dividend stocks worth owning in any market condition (Ad)
