JPM Earnings ‘Good’ But Credit Card Rates Cap Weighing on Sector
Joe Mazzola shares his takeaways from the CPI report and thinks the most important part is the impact on fixed income: “if we can continue to have stability” in the 10-year, he says, it can boost the equity market. He thought JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM) earnings were “good” but thinks Trump’s comments about capping credit card rates are weighing on the financial sector. He reminds investors that even if the Mag 7 falters this year, other tech stocks can take the lead and bring the whole market higher.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Memory Chip Bull v. Bear: Supply & Timelines Weigh Against "Substantial" Earnings
Wedbush's Mathew Bryson sees high demand and low supply offering a long runway for memory chip companies like Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK). Even after both companies experienced massive rallies, he sees the price as justified so long as earnings accelerate. Morningstar's William Kerwin doesn't agree, with his firm having a sell rating on both memory chip stocks. While he agrees on AI infrastructure buildout serving as a leg for a bullish thesis, an elongated timeline for it all to come online will hinder earnings momentum. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Watch for Europe to Up Import Controls as China Seeks Export Customers
The U.S. economic policy seems to be “run it hot,” argues Reid I’Anson, anticipating 50-75 bps in rate cuts this year and higher deficit spending. However, this creates concerns about inflation. “You have to focus on the U.S. consumer this year,” he adds; it really has to “pick up this year.” Abroad, he calls the Chinese economy unbalanced, but thinks its exports will remain strong. However, it is seeking customers outside the U.S., and he says to watch whether places like Europe raise import controls. Reid also comments on what could come out of the unrest in Iran. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Woo: Venezuela the End of ‘Rules Based’ World Order as We Know It
David Woo believes President Trump needs to win the affordability argument to win midterm elections and so is making moves in Venezuela and mortgage markets.
