Earnings season kicks into full swing this week
Stocks concluded the day on Friday logging both daily losses across the board after President-elect Joe Biden's announcement of a $1.9 trillion rescue plan failed to give investors the sentiment boost they needed. For the week, all three U.S. market benchmarks posted significant losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 30,814.26) dropped 177.3 points for the day on Friday and 0.9% for the week last week. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,768.25) dropped 27.3 points on Friday and 1.5% last week. The Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 12,998.50) dropped 114.1 points on Friday and 0.9% overall last week. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 24.34) popped 4.7% for the day on Friday, and 12.9% for the week last week -- marking its biggest weekly jump since October 2020
Entering the first earnings season of 2021, the docket of companies set to report is jam packed this week. However, the third week of the year will be relatively quiet on the economic-data front. The trading week is short as the market was closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day yesterday. Midweek, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) index will likely be overshadowed investor attention directed toward President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. Heading into Thursday and Friday, we'll see a slew of economic data released, including existing home sales.
Today is going to be completely jam packed for investors to close out the week. Retail sales, industrial production, and capacity utilization data is all due out. In addition, the Empire state and producer price indexes latest data are slated to be reported, as well as preliminary consumer sentiment index data and business inventories reports that are set to be released today.
