Powell Comments, Earnings Results
Powell appeared at the Sveriges Riksbank International Symposium on Central Bank Independence in Stockholm. The central bank is strongly committed to reducing inflation even though interest-rate increases to restrain economic growth could fuel political blowback, commented Powell in prepared remarks.
Powell’s prepared remarks didn’t comment on the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest-rate decisions, but instead emphasized the importance of central bank independence without political interference.
Powell’s speech comes on the heels of comments from Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic and San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly that tripped up markets on Monday. Daly and Bostic each pointed to Fed rate hike increases to somewhere above 5%.
Powell’s comments also follow Friday’s jobs report, which saw wage growth cooling much more than expected and workers clocking fewer hours for a second straight month. The data should allow the Fed to further slow its pace of interest-rate hikes.
Late Monday, Jefferies (JEF) reported earnings that met estimates, and sales that topped forecasts. Jefferies shares lost more than 1% in morning trade. Albertsons (ACI) climbed 1% after an earnings beat. Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) jumped 12% in morning trade after missing estimates for its fiscal third quarter.
Other companies reporting later this week include KB Home (KBH), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC).
Dow Jones aerospace leader Boeing dropped 2.2% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock from overweight to equal weight. Royal Caribbean (RCL) rose 1% after Morgan Stanley upgraded the cruise operator from underweight to equal weight. Finally, AT&T (T) gained 1.4%, as Wells Fargo upgraded the stock from equal weight to overweight.
Electric-vehicle leader Tesla reversed more than 1% lower Tuesday, amid reports the automaker delivered more than 10,000 vehicles in a single day on Friday. Dow Jones tech giants Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) were both higher after today’s stock market open.
Deere (DE), IBD Leaderboard stock ELF Beauty (ELF), Rio Tinto (RIO) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) — as well as Dow Jones names Caterpillar (CAT), Chevron (CVX) and Walmart (WMT) — are among the top stocks to buy and watch with the market back in rally mode.
ELF Beauty is an IBD Leaderboard stock. Caterpillar and Rio were featured in this week’s recent Stocks Near A Buy Zone column.

With any buys, start with half your intended investment. If the stock continues rising, add more while trying to complete your buys before shares are more than 5% above the buy point.”
