Things really slow down as we kick off the second week of the year. Although Alcoa officially starts the beginning of Q4 earnings the number of companies reporting is still relatively light. The economic data is very light following up on last week’s mountain of data. Let’s take a look at what’s on tap:
Monday – Not much going on. Dennish Lockhart speaks at 12:40, but that’s about it. Upgrade Monday should be in full effect as analyst’s position themselves for Q4 earnings. Alcoa (AA) kicks off earnings after the bell.
Tuesday – The economic calendar is light once again. No market moving earnings reports.
