Along with a huge week on the macro data front, a major driver of US indices could be earnings releases. Markets have been trading near record highs and investors will want to see if the fundamentals match the current sentiment.
Among those reporting this week will be Bank of America, Netflix, Goldman Sachs, Halliburton, UnitedHealth Group, Procter & Gamble, Morgan Stanley, and BNY Mellon. As well as seeing exaggerated moves in the individual equities, both their results and forward guidance can see sentiment shift accordingly and affect markets as a whole.
