This week, the focus among
investors will be on corporate earnings. This is after about 15% of companies
in the S&P 500 released their earnings last week. Of all the companies that
released their earnings, more than 80% beat the consensus analysts’ forecasts.
This week, companies that will release include the likes of Amazon, Google,
Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and Boeing. As these companies release, investors
will focus on a number of themes.
First, on Boeing, they will want
to hear from the executives at the company on when the 737 Max will be safe to
fly. The company has been working on fixes to ensure that the plane is safe to
fly again after two accidents killed more than 400 people.
Second, results from companies
like McDonalds, Starbucks, and Chipotle will be good indicators on whether the
consumers are continuing to increase their spending. These companies have been
forced to increase their prices as a result of higher labor and commodity
costs.
Third, with automobile companies
like Ford, GM, and Tesla expected to report, investors will be watching on the
trends in the industry. The industry has recently faced a number of headwinds,
including the carbon mandates in places like Europe. They have also been
disrupted by electric vehicle companies like Tesla. Other companies are also
creating autonomous systems. In Asia, investors will be focusing on Nissan,
which is set to give more details on the restructuring and potential job cuts.
Fourth, in Europe, banks are
expected to report. Investors expect these banks to underperform their American
peers like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. Already, Deutsche Bank has announced a
loss for the quarter. BNP Paribas, which took Deutsche Bank’s clients is
expected to show progress on the integration process. Credit Suisse will answer
on the departure of an executive who was seen as a potential successor to the
current CEO.
On the economic calendar, the
biggest news will be the decision by the European Central Bank (ECB). The
central bank is expected to release its interest rates decision on Thursday.
Investors expect the bank to leave interest rates unchanged and signal that
they will remain like that for a few more months. This happens as former IMF
chair, Christine Lagarde prepares to take over from Mario Draghi, who is widely
respected in Europe.
In Turkey, the central bank is
expected to lower interest rates from the current 24% to 21.50. This will be
the first meeting since President Erdogan sacked the former governor and
appointed Murat Uysal, who is expected to lover rates. The question among
investors is by how much the rate cut will come.
In the United Kingdom, Boris
Johnson is expected to become the new prime minister. He will replace Theresa
May, who has failed to take the country out of the European Union in line with
the Brexit vote. In recent days, Sterling has declined to the lowest level in
27 months. While Johnson has pledged to leave the EU even without a deal, the
parliament voted to prevent the next prime minister from suspending parliament.
