Good MorningEquity markets began the week on uneven footing after weaker-than-expected data from China renewed fears of slowing global economic growth. The rise of delta covid in China and its impact on retail sales is only the latest risk face by the market but one that could spark another 20% correction. The S&P 500 whipsawed from losses near 1% to small gains by the end of the day.
The market's attention on Tuesday will be firmly on US retail sales. Last week's surprise decline in consumer confidence may foreshadow a weaker-than-expected report. Analysts are expecting sales to decline by -0.2% from the previous month, a weaker-than-expected number could easily send the market moving lower, and retail sales data is not the only risk The market is also looking for earnings reports from Walmart, Target, and Home Depot, any of which could move the market.
