Good MorningEquities are coming off a rocky week and will need to regain lost ground with this week’s action. The S&P 500 closed down less than a quarter percent for the week after shedding more than 2.0% at the low of the week. While bullish, the action left a lot to be desired from investors. For one, the index confirmed resistance at the previous week’s high and for another, selling action late on Friday suggests professional traders and investors don’t want to be caught long the market.
This week the focus will be on the remaining earnings reports for the Q1 cycle. These include reports from retailers like Autozone, Williams and Sonoma, Dicks, and Costco that have all benefited from pandemic tailwinds. Along with earnings is economic data in the form of consumer confidence, housing data, and a key read on core consumer inflation. If there’s one report for the market to be scared it is the report on core consumer inflation.
