Analysts Upgrade or Downgrade Bank of America, Nio and More – Darlinez News.

Markets were somewhat muted on Monday, after an impressive showing in the second half of last week. The consumer price index (CPI) print came in lower than expected on Thursday, causing markets to skyrocket. The Nasdaq was up over 7% at the time. Now that the data is settled and investors are calming down, markets seem to have cooled as well.

With this CPI data, investors are somewhat more optimistic going into the rest of this earnings season. While banks and tech are out of the way, major retailers are set to report this week, and it is just a matter of time to see how they will fare.
