Some of the largest financial institutions in the US will unofficially kickstart the second quarter earnings parade, with JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup reporting their financial results on Friday before Wall Street’s opening bell.

Dollar slides as traders seem reluctant to buy ahead of CPI figures Wall Street mixed ahead of today’s data, bank earnings on Friday Gold climbs back above $2,000 on the back of a weak dollar Bank of Canada decision also on tap US CPI numbers and FOMC minutes enter the spotlight The US dollar traded lower against almost all the other major currencies on Tuesday and continued to underperform on Wednesday as well.

As usual, the largest US investment banks will unofficially kickstart the first quarter earnings parade, with JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo unveiling their financial results on Friday, April 14, before Wall Street’s opening bell. Bank earnings have always been regarded as a proxy for the health of the broader economy, but now their role is magnified following the implosions of three US regional banks in March.

JPMorgan’s stock has completely erased its remarkable 2021 uptrend, which peaked at a record high of 172.75 a year ago, despite the Fed’s rate hike cycle. The price plunged to 101.72 on Tuesday, reaching the lowest level since November 2020 ahead of the bank’s quarterly earnings results. From a technical perspective, the bearish wave in the four-hour chart has not bottomed out yet as the RSI continues to slide towards its 30 oversold level.

JPMorgan’s stock has been trending downwards after peaking at the all-time high of 173.00 in October, generating a profound structure of lower highs and lower lows, while completely erasing its 2021 rally.

Moreover, the price is currently trading well beneath the Ichimoku cloud, while the steeply descending 50-day simple moving average (SMA) further endorses the bearish short-term picture. The momentum indicators suggest that selling forces have gained the upper hand.

As usual, the earnings parade starts with the biggest US banks. Following an encouraging release from JPMorgan, the focus will turn to Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo on Thursday, and Goldman Sachs on Friday. The lacklustre growth in profits in the first half of the year is expected to cool down further and a more careful guidance could press sentiment, though the macroeconomic outlook will probably remain favourable for the banking sector, maintaining support under the 2021 stock ral

Earnings optimism drives US equities to fresh record highs ahead of bank results Risk appetite still shaky in FX markets, dollar and yen resist deeper selloff US inflation data and Powell testimony will be key in directing sentiment Wall Street rallies as reopening boost eyed It’s the start of the second quarter earnings season and optimism is running high that the reopening of the US economy will power corporate earnings to new peaks.

Although they lag the triple-digit growing businesses in the S&P 500 universe, the shares of US Banks marked a jubilant performance on Wall Street during the second quarter, with some of the biggest institutions chasing fresh record highs.

The four biggest US banks will kick the earnings season this week, with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo reporting their financial results for the first quarter of 2021 today followed by Bank of America and Citigroup on Thursday. The banking sector has drastically changed course from one of the worst-performing industries during the devastating 2020 year to a well-growing sector in early 2021. However, with the banks consolidating gains around record highs on Wall Street for several weeks now

JPMorgan’s stock has been quite progressive since the start of November, making higher highs and higher lows within uncharted waters. The situation, however, is currently looking bleak on the four-hour chart as the creation of a potential double top pattern near the 19-year-old resistance line is increasing the case of a trend reversal. That said, the bearish formation requires a confirmational close below the 147.24 neckline, while the upward-sloping simple moving averages (SMAs) have yet

The fourth-quarter earnings season is upon us, and as usual, the big US banks will get things started. JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo will all report on Friday before Wall Street’s opening bell. Their results could shed some light into how the financial sector is doing and how the US consumer is holding up. Overall, the banking sector has recovered very powerfully lately, and should the Democrats unleash a tsunami of federal spending soon, the good times could keep rolling.
