The markets edged higher by midday Tuesday, but traders were still combating inflation and a weak jobs number from the previous week. What’s in the purview now is impending big bank earnings kicking off the earnings season and setting its tone. Historically, September has been weak but October is usually the pick-me-up. The question now is what earnings have to say and if analysts agree.
