Good MorningThis week will likely be another volatile one. There isn't much in the way of earnings news for the market to focus on, and the economic data calendar is not much better. The most likely market-moving event will come on Friday with the release of the PCE price index. It is expected to align with the latest CPI and show inflation cooling but not sufficiently to allow the FOMC to cut rates. The risk is that inflation will not fall in the Goldilocks range and will either be too hot or cold, leading the market to fear high rates or recession.
The next significant market turning point may not come for weeks or months. The two most likely drivers are a change in tariff and, by extension, economic outlook and the upcoming earnings season. The market expects earnings growth in Q1, but the estimates have fallen to a consensus of only 7%, less than half the forecast at the end of 2025, and they may fall further before the reporting cycle begins. That won't be for another three weeks when JPMorgan reports. Featured: New Report: 7 Stocks Poised to Benefit from Global Tensions (Ad)
