市場は不透明感に包まれている。景気後退の兆候が見られる中、市場は乱高下し、関税政策には一貫性がない状況が続いている。セントルイス連邦準備銀行の『米国経済政策の不透明指数（US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index）』が、2020年12月以来の最高水準に急上昇した。消費者信頼感指数（University of Michigan Survey of Consumers）は1月から2月にかけて約10%下落し、1年前からも17%減少している。

Stocks Surge And Bond Yields Fall For 6th Day, Oil Prices Drop To $60: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

U.S. stock futures rose Tuesday morning as investors looked ahead to upcoming earnings reports and awaited greater market clarity throughout the week.
Things haven&#8217;t moved all that much on the trade and tariffs front, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent merely stating on Monday that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45038824/treasury-secretary-scott-bessent-says-its-up-to-china-to-de-escalate-trade-tensions-india-to-be-the-first-trade-deal-to-be-signed">it was up to China</a> to &#8220;de-escalate&#8221; trade tensions. Bessent also hinted at a potential trade deal with India, saying that &#8220;it would be one of the first deals we would sign,&#8221; which investors will be watching closely.
This is set to be a packed earnings week for Wall Street, with four of the &#8220;Mag 7&#8243;— Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Meta&nbsp;Platforms&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>),&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;and Amazon&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), set to release their quarterly results over the next couple of days.
On Tuesday, investors will be closely watching the results of several heavy-hitters, such as Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>), AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:&nbsp;AZN), and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).
U.S. 10-Year Treasuries are at 4.23%, while the 2-Year Treasuries are at 3.70%. The CME Group's FedWatch&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&nbsp;shows the markets pricing a 91.1% likelihood of interest rates remaining unchanged during the FOMC meeting, the first week of May, marking a decline from Friday last week, at 95.3%, and Monday at 93.1%

Insights From Analysts:
According to analysts at Charles Schwab (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>), the <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/weekly-traders-outlook">outlook for the week</a> is being described as &#8220;Volatile,&#8221; given the several mega-cap earnings that are scheduled to be released this week, alongside volatility-inducing economic data, such as the Monthly Jobs Report, Jobless Claims, and more.

Cues From Last Week:
The markets were aided by strong earnings performances by AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>), but disappointing performances by Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>) and HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>) weighed on the rally.

Insights From Analysts:
Analysts are rather upbeat going into this earnings week, with several leading experts pointing towards optimistic consensus estimates as a sign that the markets are yet to price in a recession or even a slowdown, for that matter, according <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/4aa1d7d7-4162-4e25-a6d6-a174a9626681">to</a> a report by FT. 
According to Daniel Von Ahlen of TS Lombard, &#8220;The information derived from risk assets doesn't even suggest markets reckon a mild slowdown will take shape this year.&#8221;
Peter Berezin, a chief global strategist at BCA Research, says that &#8220;typically earnings estimates decline during even mild recessions,&#8221; but the markets are now pricing a 10% earnings growth over the next twelve months, and that&#8217;s of &#8220;last year's peak profit margins no less,&#8221; he says.
