Stock Market Outlook for Tue Jan 14 2025
The technical indicators are still bearish but there are signals advising that a second bounce could be attempted today. A dip down to the 100 day intraday is likely, probably in the morning.
Today we get the latest Producer Price Index numbers which could help stocks if they are in-line with estimates. If they show more strength, we could see stocks move back lower.
Tomorrow we start into bank quarterly earnings. It won’t be surprising to see the day end higher as investors anticipate strong earnings from the banks.
