 Market Update: US Corporate Earnings. A Key Metric Could Influence Stock Markets

Global stock markets, in the current scenario, are very sensitive to macro-economic factors and to events related to the trade battle between the United States and China. Additionally, investors need to pay close attention to the US corporate earnings season, as companies might provide outlook after considering the global macro-economic factors. It can be assumed that companies with global operations are exposed to risks related to the trade battle between the two economic powerhouses. Therefore, tracking companies’ earnings reports give the investors a broad idea about how they would perform.

There are lots of things that investors need to track; however, they should keep a sharp eye on the US Federal Reserve meeting, scheduled on July 30-July 31, 2019. Tracking the meeting might help market players in understanding the broader outlook of the global economy. Also, the meeting has a potential to influence the stock markets. On July 18, 2019, Dow Jones Industrial Average witnessed a marginal rise of 3.12 points or 0.01% on an intraday basis, closing at 27,222.97. Also, on the same day, S&P 500 Index rose 10.69 points or 0.36% on an intraday basis to close at 2,995.11.

Trade battle worries and rising economic uncertainties have the potential to affect the demand for oil, as a result influencing the oil prices. In order to bring stability in broader stock markets, the trade battle between the United States and China needs to end.
