April 23, 2019 Headlines

A quiet news cycle overnight is contributing to muted activity in broad financial markets. Treasury prices are little changed across the curve, and S&P 500 futures are up just 4 points. Oil futures are more tame this morning, with Brent crude prices up just 0.11% on the day. Equity markets are bracing for a busy period of earnings releases, but the next few days should be fairly quiet from a macro event perspective. March new home sales will be released later this morning.
