Good Morning

Equity markets slipped to start the week but quickly regained upward momentum. The slip is due to a one-notch credit rating downgrade from Moody's to U.S. government debt. The downgrade is the third of three from the major rating agencies and suggests that U.S. debt is less investable than before. However, the rating downgrade was offset by an outlook upgrade from negative to stable, signaling that not all is lost for the economy. The S&P 500 opened with a loss of roughly 0.35% but closed the day well off the lows and near break-even levels.

Retail earnings reports will also drive market action this week. The first reports suggest a solid start to the year with the possibility of slowing as the year progresses. The reports to watch will come from Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, and TJX Companies, focusing on traffic, cost pressures, and the impact of tariffs.
