U.S. STOCKS CATCH THEIR BREATH AT TOP OF EARNINGS-HEAVY WEEK
U.S. stocks ended mixed on Monday as investors skulked into the new week with caution in their step in the wake of Wall Street's six-week winning streak, as earnings season shifts into overdrive.
The S&P 500 and the Dow closed in negative territory, while tech shares .SPLRCT muscled the Nasdaq to a modest gain.
Investors were likely catching their breath, pressing 'pause,' and maybe taking a little profit amid the index's longest weekly winning streak of the year (a winning streak which fell, it's worth noting, on a historically weak time of year for stocks).
While Monday was quiet, it was merely the calm before a week crammed cheek-by-jowl with earnings, with more than one in five of every company in the S&P 500 due to post results.
The week's roster is wide and varied, and some of the more high profile companies expected to step up to the plate this week include:
Tesla TSLA.O, General Motors GM.N, 3M MMM.N, Lockheed Martin LMT.N, Norfolk Southern NSC.N, Boeing BA.N, General Dynamics GD.N, Union Pacific UNP.N, Textron TXT.N, Northrop Grumman NOC.N and United Parcel Service UPS.N.
First, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan remarked at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association annual meeting that she closely monitors financial conditions to help her shape monetary policy.
Next, Neel Kashkari, Minneapolis Fed President, speaking before the Chippewa Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, said any sharp weakening in labor market conditions could move him to advocate cutting interest rates faster than the modest pace the central bank appears to have set for itself.
At last glance, financial markets were baking in an 87% likelihood of a 25 basis point rate cut at the conclusion of the Fed's next monetary policy meeting next month.
On the economic front, existing/new home sales, flash PMI, durable goods and UMich consumer sentiment await in the wings.
