Boy was I wrong. Markets continued adding to their yearly gains and the S&amp;P 500 is now up 19% year-to-date, while the Nasdaq Composite is up an amazing 38%. In a week filled with earnings and economic data, we\u2019ll see if the party can keep going.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting trend we\u2019re noticing here at tastytrade is the way in which retail investors are interacting with markets. Up until just a couple weeks ago, about half our customer trades were in the index ETFs such as SPY and QQQ. More recently, we\u2019re seeing a shift with only about 30 \u2013 35% of trades, much more normalized, being in index products and Index related ETF\u2019s. What we are seeing is the balance taking place in individual underlyings such as Microsoft and Netflix, much of it being bullish, especially in Netflix. To me, that says we\u2019re seeing a bit more optimism from customers as they are starting to venture out in to individual names which suggests potential for further market strength.<\/p>\n<p>About half the S&amp;P 500 have reported earnings so far and another 25% are scheduled to report this week. While many were forecasting a doom and gloom earnings season, what we\u2019ve seen so far is better than expected, although earnings overall are still forecast to be down over 7% from a year ago. Yet through last week, 80% of companies reporting topped earnings expectations. Albeit, forecasts for the quarter were a bit on the pessimistic side; however, the beat in expectations and relatively bullish comments by CEOs and CFOs have been a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>A couple of the bigger names reporting this week include Apple and Amazon. Both companies are scheduled to report on Thursday after the close. Then, before markets open on Friday, we\u2019ll get a look at July employment. The market is looking for 186 thousand new jobs created and an unemployment rate of 3.6%. The combination of earnings and the employment report makes for a lot of data to digest between Thursday\u2019s close and Friday\u2019s open.<\/p>\n<p>One last product I\u2019m closely watching is oil. We\u2019ve seen some strength here lately and oil is trading over $81 a barrel in premarket. While many inflation indicators suggest things have stabilized, if there is one commodity that could potentially upend everything, it\u2019s oil. Therefore, I\u2019m closely watching this as it could factor into future Fed interest rate decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Given the abundance of news coming this week, it\u2019s worth noting the VIX remains below 14. That is a very low level by historical standards and suggests a very complacent market. As I\u2019ve said before though, it\u2019s not uncommon for a relatively benign event to have an outsized effect when volatility is this low. Therefore, I would stick with your investing plans and long term objectives.<\/p>\n<p><em>tastytrade, Inc. commentary for educational purposes only.
