(1/11/24) Q4 Earnings season commences next week on top of drastically lowered earnings estimates: Analysts have dropped their estimates by $8/share on average, dramatically lowering the bar for companies to clear in their quarterly reports. Additionally, analysts are expecting most of earnings growth this year to come from the Technology sector, with a little help from Healthcare. Meanwhile,. markets continue to trade sideways, yesterday touching December's highs, but rolled off by the end of the day; still, closing close to that level. Today's trading will hinge on this morning's .3% M/M increase in CPI, slightly hotter than expected, which could trigger some selling today as the Fed is anticipated to possibly walk-back it's bullish statements of late.  Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton --------  Register for our 2024 Economic Summit: Navigating Markets in a Presidential Cycle:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ria-advisors-economic-summit-tickets-703288784687?aff=oddtdtcreator -------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our new "Before the Bell" YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lpw9STGzHI&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #InvestingAdvice #EarningsSeason #Q4Earnings #Technolgy #Healthcare #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #Markets #Money #Investing
