Peter Cardillo Focus Quotations

Obviously they (investors) are going to focus on the Fed but a rate cut is priced in. The focus will be on the economy and signs that the first batch of interest rates are finally taking hold.

If the CPI core rate shows not much of a rise then the market will be able to just focus on good earnings. It will show that the Fed is staying ahead of the inflation curve, which is a positive for the market.

Although we had good earnings from Caterpillar, earnings are becoming less of a focus.

The focus will shift from earnings to the presidential election. We're in this last part of earnings reporting and most of the damage has already been done. There's not one sector that has not been raided.
