The second-quarter earnings reporting season is underway and most of the companies in the S&P 500 will be reporting in this time and setting a direction for the markets. With this season also comes high expectations, as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have risen recently to near all-time highs. This earnings season will be driven by some of the biggest companies in the United States, but they have to hit their targets first if the markets want to keep up their momentum.
