‘Only Real Weakness’ in U.S. Economy is Labor Market Data
Markets “really came into the year priced to perfection,” says Brad Long, so if companies don’t stick the landing on earnings, the market will punish them. AI is more about “managing the risk” than trying to get into the trade, as around 40% of S&P 500 companies are exposed to it already. Broadening the trade is important, Brad thinks. International is an “attractive area,” including in Asian emerging markets like South Korea. He lays out his picture of the U.S. economy: “the only real weakness” is some of the labor market data.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

"If you're fortunate enough to have a job, you're probably fortunate enough to keep that job," he adds. Noah adds the impact of potential rate cuts on employer's bottom line as well as the rise of AI use and its impact on productivity levels. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Thursday's Market Playbook, Reaction to META & MSFT
"VIX up, equities up" is something to keep on the radar today, says Kevin Green. He dives into the premarket trading activity to highlight several indicators on his watch list. Meanwhile, he dives into the earnings reports for a pair of Mag 7 names going in different directions to start the day. To the upside, Meta Platforms (META) after its massive capex spending guidance. And, to the downside, Microsoft (MSFT) which KG believes could be getting hit thanks in part to mostly in-line Azure cloud growth. For today's trading range on the S&P 500 (SPX) he's watching 7030 acting as upside resistance, with 6940 a level to watch to the downside.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

EARNINGS ALERT: MSFT, META, TSLA, IBM
Kevin Green and Alex Coffey join Marley Kayden and Sam Vadas for an in-depth earnings breakdown from some of the biggest names on the Street. It was a mixed message from Microsoft (MSFT) as KG goes under the hood on the company's cloud business. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms (META) guided for capex spending in the year ahead between $115B-$135B which caught the attention of investors in the after-hours. The story from Tesla's (TSLA) report also pointed to infrastructure investments in the U.S. with additional plans to invest $2B to buy preferred shares of xAI. Shares of IBM Corp. (IBM) popped as its AI exposure helped drive it to a top & bottom line earnings beat. Alex notes IBM's full "billion dollar increase" in cash flow guidance will potentially help the company continue growth in the AI space. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

"Just What the Market Needed:" Bullish Take on Interest Rate Pause
After the FOMC voted to keep interest rates unchanged in January, Christian Salomone says the potential for another rate cut hinges on the labor market taking a stark downturn. That said, recent economic data and comments made by Fed Chair Jerome Powell offer reprieve. Beyond geopolitical tensions, Christian adds that the softening of the U.S. dollar is another macro factor to watch moving forward. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Art Hogan thinks the data isn’t clear enough for the Fed to move rates, especially when it comes to the job market. With several megacaps reporting this week, he thinks we can “depend on earnings growth,” noting that some hyperscaler multiples have come down while the market has continued to move higher.

Why it Might be Hard for the Fed to Cut Rates in 2026
John Lonski reacts to the FOMC decision to leave rates unchanged and the language of the press release. He notes that tax cuts will be a fiscal stimulus this year that the Fed may want to watch shake out before moving rates. Inflation risks “have not gone away,” he argues, noting moves in the metals market backing his thesis. In fact, he thinks it may be difficult for the Fed to cut at all this year even with a new Chair. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
