Good MorningThe major indices were mostly flat on Tuesday as earnings season kicks into high gear. The onslaught of reports was met with little fanfare although it is still early in the season. On balance, more companies than average are beating their consensus earnings estimates although by a smaller margin than expected. If this trend persists through the end of the reporting season the market may find itself stuck in a trading range until a new catalyst emerges.
Reports that may move the market on Wednesday include Microsoft, Starbucks, AMD and Apple. Apple is slated to report after the bell and could be a turning point for the market. The company’s earnings estimates have been moving steadily higher since early summer and may be hard to beat. Anything less than a stunning report may be too little to keep share prices trading at all-time high levels.
