The Bottom Line

Here comes the good news! First quarter results by major U.S. corporations start appearing in volume this week: Consensus calls for significant year-over-year revenue and earnings gains. Initial focuses this week are reports by major U.S. banks. Also notable will be reports by Taiwan Semiconductor and Netflix on Thursday.

The VIX Index dropped below support at 20% on Thursday to a six week low completing a double top pattern, implying that risks related to international concerns (most notably the Strait of Hormuz issue) have passed their peak. Cease fire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are scheduled this weekend. Next investor focus this week is likely to be first quarter reports released by major U.S. companies.
