President Donald Trump is <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-automakers-factories-relief-25a400c98e02c01c8c54502384e267e1">expected</a> to unveil a new executive order on auto tariffs later today. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent added that the administration is pursuing bilateral trade agreements with 17 major partners, excluding China.

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:
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.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations.

Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
