Morning Call. Market Overview for 11.10.2016

11.10.2016

The Big Picture

Today Earnings Season gets underway. Traditionally the aluminum producer Alcoa is the first corporation to release its quarterly results. Analysts are particularly interested in Alcoa´s outlook.

Alcoa is particularly cyclical, as such it might give insight in to the state of the US economy. Most analysts foresee a profit growth of 21% over the last quarter. The price/ earnings ratio of the S&P 500 stands at 20.38 for the current year, which is historical high. Viewed in light of expansive monetary policy and a very low interest rate environment, this becomes relative. The week banking heavyweights such as JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America will release quarterly results.
