  Today is Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day, which President Biden commemorated as a national holiday for the first time in 2021 and has become widely adopted around the US. Depending on where you live, your state or city might honor one of the two holidays, or something else entirely (more than half of US states don’t recognize either day as an official state holiday).
  
  Since 1937, the US has marked today as a federal holiday, Columbus Day; the day is marked in nearly 200 cities and four states as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Learn more about the history here. See public opinion data here.
  
  As with the other ten federal holidays on the calendar, most banks will be closed, and the USPS will not deliver mail.

  Earnings season enters Week 1. And tomorrow will feel like an NFL Sunday with a full slate of reports coming from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Citigroup in the financial sector, along with healthcare giants Johnson & Johnson, Walgreens, and UnitedHealth. And just like the NFL, more drops will be spread throughout the week: Morgan Stanley will report on Wednesday, Netflix reports on Thursday, and Procter & Gamble and American Express drop their financials on Friday. It’ll pose a big test for the stock market’s $8 trillion rally this year.

  China’s finance minister gave a much-hyped briefing on Saturday, promising more government support for the country’s stalled economy. But a lack of detail left investors disappointed.
