With the trading day about halfway over, the broad markets were edging higher to start out the week. The muted start is somewhat reflective of what’s to come, namely the start of earnings season. The major banks are kicking it off this week and could set the tone for the whole season. Apart from that, look out for Consumer Price Index data on Tuesday, and Federal Reserve Chair Powell will have comments on Wednesday.
