WSJ Your Money Briefing · Bank Earnings, Fed Minutes On Tap · 5 Apr 2019 podcast

So for a lot of investors, this is something they haven't seen in a while. matched

So the question is for the market, can they look past that first quarter earnings? matched

And you'll get a taste of that with the banks when they start reporting. matched

Right now, investors have been way more focused on what the Fed has done than this matched

upcoming earnings season, which isn't really looking all that great. matched
