Recap & Commentary
The Senate heard opening arguments in the impeachment trial of President Trump. As we have discussed previously, markets have largely viewed the impeachment proceedings as a non-event given the near-guarantee that the Senate will ultimately acquit the President.
Through Friday, 85 S&P 500 companies had reported fourth quarter earnings. Of those, 73% beat their earnings estimate, while 67% beat their revenue estimate. The current consensus forecast is for 4Q19 earnings growth to contract -1.9%.
