Good MorningThe Q1 earnings season started with a whimper on Wednesday after reports from the big banks failed to impress the market. Reports from JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Wells Fargo all beat their consensus targets but internal metrics reveal stock market gains and investment banking are the reason why. The banking sector started the day in negative territory but managed to recoup the losses by the end of the session.
The energy market got a boost on Wednesday by a bigger-than-expected drawdown of U.S. crude stockpiles. The U.S. crude inventory fell more than 5 million barrels versus the consensus estimate for about half the amount. The price of WTI gained more than 4% on the news and looks like it is headed back up to retest the recent highs.
