is in line to begin Monday near the top of the 3,800 to 4,200 range within which it has vacillated for about five months.<\/p>\n<p>Some big banks kicked off the U.S. first quarter earnings season on Friday, and the positive response to these reports signals easing anxiety about the financial sector and broader confidence over company profitability \u2014 all while concerns about Federal Reserve

numbers.<\/p>\n<p>The market\u2019s more relaxed tone of late can be seen in various anxiety barometers, noted Henry Allen, strategist at Deutsche Bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[M]arkets are continuing to shrug off the financial turmoil that brought such volatile conditions only a month ago. In fact by the end of last week, the VIX index of volatility had closed at just 17.07pts, which is its lowest level since 4th January 2022, on the same day that the S&#038;P 500 hit its record intraday high,\u201d Allen wrote in a note to clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther measures are painting a similar picture as well, with the MOVE index of Treasury volatility beneath its pre-SVB levels again, whilst Bloomberg\u2019s index of US financial conditions has now erased more than 80% of the tightening seen last month,\u201d Allen added.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jonathan Krinsky, technical strategist at BTIG, observed that underlying market trends suggest bulls should be wary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last couple of weeks, the major indices have gotten essentially back to their early February levels. Yet below the surface, breadth has weakened. Consider that with the Russell 3k back to early February levels, the percentage of components above their 200-day moving average is now just 45% compared to 70%,\u201d said Krinsky in a report to clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe weak parts of the market remain weak, while the strong parts now appear vulnerable. This is typical of bear markets, and why things happen \u2018slowly, then all at once\u2019,\u201d Krinsky added. <\/p>\n<p>U.S. economic updates set for release on Monday include the Empire State manufacturing index for April, due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, and the April homebuilder confidence index at 10 a.m. Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin is due to make comments at 12:45 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/news\/story.asp?guid=%7B20C06575-04D4-B545-71D6-974A58D42BD9%7D&#038;siteid=rss&#038;rss=1\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Anthony Redner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. stock futures on Monday point to Wall Street equities starting the week near their highs of the year after a well-received batch of bank earnings calmed nerves at the start of the corporate reporting season.
