- Title: S&P 500 ends higher after Powell lulls market
- Date: 14th July 2021
- Summary: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (JULY 14, 2021) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) GERBER KAWASAKI, CEO, ROSS GERBER, SAYING: "Well, we're getting into earnings season now. So what we're seeing is that the markets have moved up in anticipation of amazing earnings season. But the season is now starting, so we're going to see a lot of volatility over the next two months as stocks find their equilibrium between what will be a huge earnings season, but also with huge valuation. So seeing the markets kind of move around up here is pretty normal as we come into earnings season. And it's certainly nothing to be concerned about."
