Markets were somewhat mixed on Tuesday, while earnings season rolls on and investors are awaiting inflation data due out later in the week. Perhaps the biggest earnings disappointment on Tuesday was the COVID-19 king, Pfizer, missing on the top line, although the long-term outlook is still solid. January’s inflation data is due out on Thursday, so it will be worth seeing if the United States can get these numbers under control.
