INSIGHT

Earnings Season Is A Sentiment Gate

This earnings week is heavy with big tech names and 170 companies reporting, making it a sentiment test for the S&P at highs.
If big tech merely meets expectations instead of beating them by large margins, stocks could be punished and sentiment may wobble.

ADVICE

Prioritize Fundamentals And Forward Guidance

Dig into company fundamentals and guidance during earnings season rather than react to headline moves.
Focus on 2025 guidance when companies report now because markets are pricing longer-term trajectories.

INSIGHT

Labor Data Shapes Rate Expectations

JOLTS, GDP, and payrolls are pivotal because they shape labor-market-driven rate expectations and yield volatility.
Hotter labor data could push rate expectations higher and increase bond-market volatility.
