Monday Morning Must-Knows: March 15, 2021

Here are three things that may have an impact on themarkets this week.

First, as we’re tapering off earnings season, we have a fewimportant earnings announcements this week such as Lennar, Fedex and Nike.

On Tuesday at 8:30am EST, we have a retail salesreport.  Last month, retail sales significantly outpacedexpectations.  Retail sales are expected to pull back, but given recentstimulus news, we’re watching this closely.

Finally, the FOMC statement will be released on Wednesdayat 2:00 EST.   Fed announcements can create volatility in themarkets. 

If you’re in the markets, make sure you have a trade planand are following your rules.
