Set for a rally or yet another dead cat bounce?
Reporting season in the US is peaking. By the end of last week, about 20 per cent of S&P companies had submitted their Q3 reports. So far, S&P500 companies have beaten earnings expectations by, on average, 2.3%.
This week we have several heavy weights. Among those is Alphabet realizing its quarterly report today, followed by Microsoft tomorrow, and Apple and Amazon on Thursday, 27 October. Ahead of this, the S&P 500 index has bounced off its lows. Will the Q3 2022 reports support further gains?

On the other hand, looking at the macro picture, inflation expectations are still on the rise, as shown in the chart below. Thus, the potential reporting season rally can be yet another dead cat bounce.
