This week, investors will have their hands full with a series of events that will impact the market. The highlights include the release of quarterly results by around 100 S&P 500 companies and the annual revisions to the consumer price index (CPI).
Quarterly Results Roundup
Monday kicks off with a flurry of quarterly results from major players such as Caterpillar, McDonald’s, Simon Property Group, and Tyson Foods. On Tuesday, investors can expect to hear from BP, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Eli Lilly, Ford Motor, and Spotify Technology. Wednesday brings us reports from Alibaba Group Holding, CVS Health, PayPal Holdings, Uber Technologies, and Walt Disney. Thursday features ConocoPhillips, Expedia Group, FirstEnergy, and Take-Two Interactive Software. Finally, on Friday, Enbridge and PepsiCo will close out the week.
Key Economic Data
On Monday, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) will release its Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for January. Economists predict a slight rise from December’s reading, indicating continued expansion in the services sector.
However, the real economic data highlight of the week will be Friday’s release of the annual revisions to the consumer price index by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These revisions have the potential to significantly impact the inflation data of the previous five years, which could have consequences for Federal Reserve policy.
