Good MorningInvestor confidence was rattled on Tuesday when word of not one but two trials of COVID-19 vaccines was halted due to “adverse” events. The news triggered an early morning sell-off that had the major indices down about -0.50% when the opening bell sounded. While concerning, the news was largely shrugged off in favor of earnings from JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup. The nation’s two largest consumer banks reported better than expected results that foreshadow what could be a market-moving earnings season.
Revenue at both JP Morgan and Citigroup fell on a YOY period but came in above the consensus estimates. The most noteworthy detail in either report is that reserve-builds for credit losses were less than expected. In light of the current conditions, the slowdown in reserve-build was taken as a vote of confidence in the economic recovery. If the rest of the financial sector reports in like fashion a new all-time high is in store for the S&P 500.
