Yesterday: U.S. indexes finished higher Monday, despite a big early morning selloff as Wall Street shrugged off political uncertainty surrounding the feud between President Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the weekend. The President claimed no involvement after the Justice Department subpoenaed Chair Powell's testimony last summer over the massive fed renovation that is behind schedule and over budget. Selling pressure eased as the day went on as investors focused back on fundamentals. Attention now shifts to the release of December CPI data this morning, which is expected to show modest monthly inflation increases. Lastly, oil prices advanced as concerns over potential supply disruptions from Iran outweighed expectations for increased exports from Venezuela.
On Our Radar: Analysts will be paying attention to today’s CPI report as well as home sales and speeches from several fed members (Musalem, Barkin). With regards to earnings, all eyes will be on the banking sector with Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Citigroup (C) all reporting before the market opens tomorrow.

MARKET HISTORY
On This Day In 2000…
Bill Gates officially stepped down as CEO of Microsoft, passing the reins to Steve Ballmer while remaining as chairman and chief software architect. This leadership transition marked the end of an era for the company that Gates had co-founded and built into a global technology powerhouse. The move had an immediate impact on the market, with shares falling 4% on the news, reflecting investor uncertainty about the company’s future direction. Fast forward 25 years later, and the company has grown into one of the biggest companies in the world, with a market cap of more than $3.5 trillion.
