Stocks are lower across the board to start the busy week as higher oil prices and Treasury yields, driven by attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, dampen investor sentiment.
The global earnings boom may support stocks, but concentration risks remain. Investors should consider diversifying beyond a narrow group of AI beneficiaries.
The week starts slowly but accelerates tomorrow with CPI, big bank results, and congressional testimony by Fed Chair Warsh. Two key chip industry firms report later this week.
Mounting attacks over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz sent stocks, especially tech, down in early trading as oil rose. Tomorrow brings CPI, Warsh testimony, and bank results.
Facing a week packed with data, Schwab's Kevin Gordon discusses Tuesday's CPI report, Fed Chairman Warsh's first testimony to Congress, and retail sales in the latest Week Ahead.
This episode examines the growing case that investors have moved beyond the low-inflation, low-volatility "Great Moderation" Era and into a new "Temperamental" Era.
