Yesterday: U.S. indexes fell sharply Tuesday, ending Monday’s rally as tech and software stocks lead the market lower. Concerns that rapid advances in artificial intelligence could pressure future market share weighed on the sector, sending shares of ServiceNow and Salesforce down nearly 7%.

Despite the pullback, earnings season has been solid, with nearly 40% of companies having reported, with Q4 S&P 500 earnings now expected to grow around 10%, up from estimates of 7% last month. Looking ahead to this year, earnings growth is projected to remain strong, with forecasts calling for 14% growth for the S&P 500, and positive growth in every sector except energy.
