PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, still lingering below its January and February highs.

Seven of the eleven sectors finished in negative territory as U.S. equities closed lower Friday. Weak retail sales and strong corporate earnings.hurt investor sentiment. Even though bank earnings have started off stronger-than-forecasted, analysts expect S&P 500 earnings to fall more than 5% in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Chicago Federal Reserve (Fed) President Austan Goolsbee stated the central bank’s job isn’t over just yet.

On the data front, retail sales fell more than expected, down 1% month-over-month in March after declining 0.4% in the prior month, marking the largest decline since November. Meanwhile, a preliminary reading for the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index showed sentiment ticked higher in April with short-term inflation expectations increasing to 4.6%, its highest jump in nearly two years, while long-term expectations remained unchanged at 2.9%.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up six basis points (0.06%) to 3.51%, while the 30-year bond yield increased five basis points (0.05%) to 3.73%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, gained 12 basis points (0.12%) to 4.09%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased 0.6% to $82.63/barrel after the International Energy Agency warned against the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies’ (OPEC+) production cuts potentially exacerbating a supply deficit. The index recorded a weekly gain of 2.4% for its fourth-consecutive week of gains.
