The week starts on a positive note, after the major US and European indices ended up last Friday on a good rebound. Investors remain focused on earnings this week, to determine which companies are in a better position to weather the difficult macroeconomic environment, and the rising interest rates.
Earnings Season
Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Netflix, Tesla, Philip Morris, Snap, American Express and Twitter are among the companies that will go to the earnings confessional this week. Good news is that, the week starts with improved odds of seeing a 75bp hike at the next FOMC meeting, rather than a 100bp hike. The US dollar bounced lower from a fresh 20-year high on Friday and is softer against most majors this morning. This week, the dollar traders will be watching the US housing data and the Philly Fed manufacturing index, and good data will likely be bad news for the Fed watchers, as it would revive the odds of a 100bp hike at next Fed meeting.
Europe
In Europe, investors will watch three important events: whether Mario Draghi quits the Italian government, whether the Nordstream 1 pipeline reopens, and the European Central Bank (ECB) much-awaited, first rate hike!
