My top 10 things to watch Monday, April 21
1. Tesla is among the many influential companies reporting earnings this week. Wedbush’s Dan Ives says the EV maker is facing a “code red situation” if CEO Elon Musk stays in Washington at the Department of Government Efficiency. Tesla’s numbers are due out tomorrow night.
2. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said Friday that President Donald Trump is studying whether he can fire Powell. Powell has said the law is clear he cannot be fired or demoted, but does that matter? Can anyone be fired?
3. Stocks are set to open lower this morning after a losing week. The 10-year Treasury yield rose, the U.S. dollar index fell to a three-year low, and gold hit another record high. Wall Street is looking for progress on trade deal talks, but not much concrete yet.
