US stocks closed lower on Monday after a session which saw all three benchmarks slip between positive and negative territory, as investors contrasted Bank of America’s positive earnings with surging bond yields ahead of further earnings cues this week.
Market participants are bracing for a barrage of earnings that will help them assess the impact of the Ukraine war and a spike in inflation on company financials. Netflix, Tesla, Johnson & Johnson and International Business Machines are all to report this week.

“The market is looking for some direction. Do we get it from earnings – maybe. But the overarching factors continue to be what does China look like with its zero-COVID policy, and what does the Fed look like going forward in terms of interest rates and inflation,” said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager and lead portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers.
“It’s going to be some time before either one gives us any clear direction. With that backdrop, I’m not shocked if we just continue to trade in a range.”
