Compared to the previous week, this week is less risk heavy. But there are certain economic data and events scheduled that can trigger high volatility.
What to watch for over the coming days:
- Greece:
Euro-area finance ministers are set to meet on Monday to discuss the third bailout for Greece. There are immense uncertainties surrounding the Greek bailout as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has insisted on debt relief before it gets involved in the bailout. So far, the finance ministers have failed to find a resolution.
- Central banks:
Federal Reserve will release minutes of its January meeting on Wednesday. Fed’s Patrick Harker is scheduled to speak on Tuesday and Lockhart is scheduled to speak on Thursday. Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will release minutes of the meeting on Tuesday. Bank of England (BoE) governor Mark Carney is scheduled to testify before parliament’s treasury committee on Tuesday.
- US earnings:
Investors would remain focused on the fourth quarter earnings details from the remaining companies listed in S&P 500. This week, about 50 companies listed in S&P 500 are scheduled to announce results including Wal-Mart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, and more.
- Warren Buffett’s letter:
Warren Buffet will release his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway’s investors on Saturday. This year, the interest surrounding the letter is extremely high as everyone is looking for insights from one of the greatest living investors, especially after the election.
