Forget S&P 500 earnings estimates for the time being. Financial market trading has been fully tied to fresh key macro data and macro-driven policy events these days.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Fed certainly delivers its 2nd straight 50-basis-point (bps) rate hike, in order to bring broad U.S. consumer inflation under control. A day later, and then Friday, Britain and Sweden will also likely lift interest rates again.

Earnings growth for the quarter drops to +0.5% on an ex-Energy basis, but improves to +13.3% on an ex-Finance basis. But that is not the only stock market matter to care about.
