The Bottom Line

Surprising response by U.S. equity indices on Friday on news that the U.S. Supreme Court disallowed President Trump’s tariff policy! U.S. equity indices recorded significant gains following the news. Look for a counter proposal from Trump this week!

Economic focus this week is on the January U.S. Producer Price Index to be released on Friday.

Primary U.S. earnings focus this week is on Nvidia’s quarterly report released on Wednesday. Other U.S. scheduled notable earnings reports include Home Depot on Tuesday, Lowe’s on
Wednesday as well as Salesforce.com and Dell on Thursday.

Canadian equity market focus this week is on fiscal first quarter results released by Canada’s “Big Six” chartered banks.
