EquityClock’s Daily Comment

Headline reads “The trend for retail sales has yet to show a path that is representative of the looming onset of an economic recession”.

The Bottom Line

Focus this week shifts to first quarter earnings reports. Financial services dominate the list of reporting companies. Responses to results released by JP Morgan and Citigroup on Friday were encouraging. As Jim Cramer noted on Fast Money on Friday, “I think that we will see a pleasant surprise”.
