Good MorningEquity markets rebounded in the previous week. The broad market gained roughly 3% at the session's high and may continue higher over the next few weeks. The move is driven by better-than-expected results from tech giants like Microsoft and Google, but there is risk. While most companies outperform their consensus estimates, the margin of outperformance is less than in previous quarters, and the guidance is weak. Tesla stands out with its forecast for revenue to fall substantially compared to last year.
This week is a pivotal one for the market. The peak of earnings seasons is the last big hurrah before summer, compounded by a full economic calendar and the FOMC meeting. The economic data is not expected to change the Fed's outlook but could surprise negatively - the Q1 GDP read was weak and may be echoed in other data. Earnings will be more of the same, with mixed results, leaving the FOMC to drive the action. The FOMC will not likely cut rates this week; it will likely alter the outlook and push out the timing for the first rate cut, a negative catalyst for equities.
