First quarter earnings season will get underway in earnest this week with big banks reporting results on Friday as investors turn their attention slightly away from Fed policy and towards the state of play in corporate America.
Some of America’s largest financial institutions will report results before the market open on Friday, including JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), Citi (C), and BlackRock (BLK). Also featuring on the weekly schedule will be Wednesday morning’s inflation reading from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the monthly retail sales report out Friday morning.
