Monday 2/9

Earnings season rolls on with about 75 more S&P 500 index companies set to report. Of the roughly 300 companies that have reported so far, nearly 80% have beaten earnings-per-share estimates, while just over 70% have exceeded revenue expectations. Coca-Cola, CVS Health, and Ford Motor announce results on Tuesday, followed by Cisco Systems, McDonald's, and T-Mobile US on Wednesday. Airbnb, Applied Materials, and Arista Networks release earnings on Thursday.

Wednesday 2/11

The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the jobs report for January. Economists forecast a 70,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls, after a 50,000 gain in December. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.4%. This release was originally scheduled for Feb. 6 but was delayed due to the brief government shutdown last week.

Friday 2/13

The BLS releases the consumer price index for January. Consensus estimate is for a 2.5% year-over-year increase, two-tenths of a percentage points less than in December. The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is also expected to rise 2.5%, compared with 2.6% previously. A 2.5% annual change for the core CPI would be the lowest since March 2021.
