Companies will begin to release first quarter results this week. S&P says it expects a sharp slowdown in earnings improvements among the S&P 500. This, in turn, could knock the stock market advance off its axis. And. it may not take much. The S&P 500 is up nearly 10% over the last three months.
New concerns about the economy began last week as the jobs report for March was much worse than expected. High gas and oil prices are the subject of everyday conversations and analysis by economists. Earnings may be the last weight on the pile. It appears the advance of the markets is over.
Among the firms which will report early are Alcoa (NYSE: AA) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG)
