Good MorningEquity markets could be in for a wild ride this week after last week's nearly 10% plunge. The question is whether the trade war will continue escalating or if global leaders will begin a discourse leading to real change. Until then, volatility, as indicated by the VIX, is high and raises the odds for a deeper market pullback. As it is, the S&P 500 is on the brink of a full 20% correction from the last peak and could extend the decline to even deeper levels.
Economic data and earnings reports will also impact this week's market action. The financial data includes the CPI and PPI data, which are expected to continue running hot, as well as earnings reports from the big banks. The big banks are expected to have growth in revenue and earnings and will likely outperform their consensus estimates. The risk is that guidance will be shaky and lead the market into the next leg of its decline. Featured: 120 days remain before new defense mineral rules take effect (Ad)
