After the third quarter of last year, the US stock market ended a 9-month "profit recession". As the Federal Reserve is about to start cutting interest rates and anticipating a soft landing, the market is becoming increasingly optimistic about the profit prospects of listed companies in 2024, and valuation levels are also rising rapidly. However, facing the pressure of economic slowdown, institutions are continuously lowering their performance outlook for the previous quarter, and several industry giants have recently issued performance warnings. Investors will pay attention to the outlook of the banking industry on the economic outlook, and whether technology giants with impressive performance in the past year can continue to be strong will also be a major focus.
