Three big things you need to know today: First, we are lifting our S&P 500 EPS forecasts to $223 (up from $220) for 2023 and to $232 (up from $229) for 2024. Second, 3Q23 reporting season is off to a good start in terms of stock price reactions, even though EPS revisions have turned slightly negative and company commentary among the early reporters suggests that the uncertain macro is taking a toll. Third, other things that jump out from our high frequency indicators include an improvement in equity investor sentiment last week and the return of outflows from US equity funds.
