  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.

  Reporting its first quarterly earnings since the Fed’s big interest rate cut, America’s biggest bank earned more than expected from loans and boosted what it forecasts it’ll earn for the year. Meanwhile, its CFO affirmed that the economy is in good shape, noting, “These results are consistent with a soft landing.” But it wasn’t all puppy dogs and rainbows at JPMorgan: CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned that geopolitical risks remain a looming threat, saying “conditions are treacherous and getting worse.” In other banking news, Wells Fargo also beat earnings expectations.

• US drillers add oil and gas rigs for first time in four weeks

  According to Baker Hughes ' report on Friday, U.S. energy firms added oil and natural gas rigs this week, marking the first increase in four weeks. The combined total rig count, an early signal of future production, rose by one to 586 for the week ending October 11.
  
  Despite the slight uptick, the rig count remains down by 36 rigs, or 6%, compared to last year. Oil rigs saw a modest increase of two, reaching 481, while natural gas rigs declined by one to 101.
  
  Drillers cut two rigs in Pennsylvania, bringing the state’s total to 13, the lowest level since July 2016.
  
  The U.S. rig count fell sharply by 20% in 2023, driven by lower oil and gas prices, higher labor and equipment costs from inflation, and a corporate focus on debt reduction and shareholder returns over output expansion. In contrast, the rig count had risen by 33% in 2022 and surged 67% in 2021.
  
  So far in 2024, U.S. oil futures are up approximately 5%, rebounding from an 11% drop in 2023. Natural gas futures have also recovered by around 5% after a steep 44% decline last year.
  
  The outlook for U.S. crude production remains positive, with higher oil prices expected to push production from a record 12.9 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2023 to 13.2 million bpd in 2024 and 13.5 million bpd in 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
  
  On the natural gas side, earlier reductions in drilling budgets, spurred by record-low prices at the U.S. Henry Hub benchmark in March, are expected to slow gas output. The EIA projects that U.S. gas production will decline slightly to 103.5 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2024, down from the record 103.8 bcfd in 2023.
