What will drive the markets this week?
U.S. stocks closed high on Friday, in a volatile first trading week of the new year which saw markets reacting to talks on stimulus, the worst jobs report since last April, a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, and dramatic political activities in Washington DC and Georgia. European stocks also logged their strongest weekly gains since November.
This week investors will be looking at several economic data across the world, including the December 2020 retail sales in the U.S, the start of earnings season, and the investment blacklisting of several Chinese companies.
JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and other U.S. banks are set to kick off fourth-quarter earnings season this coming week, and a majority of S&P 500 companies will follow them over the next month. Read more on these and other insights on what will drive the stock market this week.
