Wall Street returned to its winning ways this week — and Nvidia 's blowout earnings report Wednesday night was a big reason why. Twenty-six of our 32 portfolio stocks have delivered their results this earnings season (we didn't own Abbott Labs at the time of its report). It was a muted week for macroeconomic data, but we did get a slightly better-than-expected January existing home sales report on Thursday. In the week ahead, two more Club names are set to report earnings before a market-moving economic update arrives Thursday morning. The two other reports of note are the January new home sales report on Monday and ISM Manufacturing report on Friday.

☆ As earnings season winds down, investors turn to Tuesday's debt ceiling meeting
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-06 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +12 min

With only a small fraction of the S & P 500 left to report quarterly earnings, investors are now turning their focus to another major hurdle for the markets and economy: the debt ceiling crisis. Earlier this week, we looked back to debt limit crisis of 2011 for potential lessons. The protracted fight ultimately ended in an agreement in early August of that year, but it was a choppy summertime ride for investors. Within the portfolio, Wynn Resorts will report Tuesday, after the closing bell, and Disney will report on Wednesday, after the closing bell. Estee Lauder (EL) and Emerson Electric (EMR) reported earnings before the opening bell.

☆ There’s a Silver Lining for Mortgage Companies in a Bleak Market

Mortgage originators such as Rocket Cos. and UWM Holdings have recently reported continuing drops in home-loan volumes for the fourth quarter. There is good news and bad news for big mortgage originators: The market is shrinking. Originators that make mortgages and sell them into the market such as Rocket Cos. and UWM Holdings have recently reported continuing drops in home-loan volumes for the fourth quarter. That was to be expected, as overall U.S. single-family home-mortgage originations dropped from over half a trillion dollars in the third quarter to about $400 billion in the fourth quarter, according to figures compiled by Fannie Mae. And though mortgage rates this year have been below the highs they reached last year, Fannie Mae’s recent forecast still is for under $1.7 trillion in single-family mortgage originations in 2023, versus nearly $2.4 trillion in 2022.
