2022 was not a good year for the stock market. In fact, it was the worst-performing year since 2008! The three major US indexes suffered heavy losses, with the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow 30 falling by 33.1%, 19.4% and 8.8%, respectively. Many factors, including sky-high inflation, rising interest rates and recession worries, spooked investors and caused them to sell out of their positions. But could the release of companies’ Q4’22 earnings help claw back some of the losses suffered in 2022? A stronger-than-expected season is likely to be bullish for the stock market. Whereas a weaker-than-expected earnings season is likely to apply more downward pressure. Whatever happens this earnings season, you can rest assured that the stock market will experience volatility. And when there’s volatility, there are potential trading opportunities.
