Earnings to spoil the party?
It's been another lively week in financial markets and one in which investors have become increasingly hopeful that 2023 won't be as bad as feared. In a way, the week started with the jobs report the Friday before as it was this that enabled the enthusiasm to build. The labour market has been a major barrier to optimism as the Fed was never going to pivot quickly unless there were signs in the labour market that slack was building and wages cooling.
