Linea Mercati Interview 1/22/25
January 21, 2025Investors were “holding tight” as the nation’s biggest banks kicked off fourth-quarter earnings season on a positive note and ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 20, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Management.
“Basically, it’s a bit of sideways movement” in stocks on mixed economic data and as the “earnings season is getting off to a good start,” Cardillo told MarketWatch.
The parade of earnings due to get under way next week could be a catalyst for a pullback — or it could pave the way for fresh record highs for stocks, he said.
The bond market, however, has been paying close attention to Thursday’s Senate confirmation hearing for Scott Bessent, the nominee for Treasury secretary, in order to get a sense of the incoming Trump administration’s policy priorities. “He’s making a big pitch for the extension of 2017 tax cuts,” Cardillo said of Bessent.
