Earnings Led Stock Market Breakout This Week?

Now that we're moving into earnings season the fundamentals should matter more than the macro. Earnings matter for stocks. Starting this week earnings reports and guidance are the stock market's next cue.

The stock market (NYSE:SPY) is approaching a key level at 280. A close above it would be a breakout signaling the market can move higher. So far the stock market has overlooked trade concerns and Fed rate hikes and we're about to enter earnings season.

So far our work says that Q3 business has not been affected yet by trade concerns. If that shows through in strong guidance we should continue to higher highs for the stock market.
