Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that 'the crude market is set to end the week lower despite elevated Middle East tensions'. This statement implies a certainty which cannot be guaranteed and therefore it is misleading. Secondly, in paragraph 2, the article states that 'analysts expect companies in aggregate to report earnings increased 5% in the first quarter from a year earlier', however this information is not backed up by any sources or data provided within the article. This statement could be considered as an opinion rather than fact and therefore it is misleading. Thirdly, paragraph 3 states that 'U.S large caps saw $15.8 billion of outflows in the week to Wednesday', however this information is not backed up by any sources or data provided within the article. This statement could be considered as an opinion rather than fact and therefore it is misleading.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Federal Reserve expected as many as six rate cuts earlier this year. However, according to the CME FedWatch Tool and other sources cited in the article itself, there was never any expectation of more than three rate cuts for 2024.
The sentence 'Federal Reserve officials said during their March policymaking meeting that inflation will likely continue to slow this year,' is deceptive because it implies that the Federal Reserve expected a significant decrease in inflation, when in fact they only predicted a slight decline.
The statement 'Inflation has been a bane on Biden's presidency,' is misleading as it suggests that President Biden bears sole responsibility for high inflation rates, which is not accurate.

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the opinions of experts such as JJ Kinahan and Carol Schleif without providing any evidence or reasoning for their claims. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing how investors are on edge this week after the latest Consumer Price Index release showed that inflation grew faster than expected in March. The article also contains a dichotomous depiction of consumer spending as being robust at large but lower-income consumers tightening their purse strings, which is not supported by any evidence or reasoning provided in the article.
The market has more or less acknowledged that any stimulus from a rate cut [is] becoming less likely. As a result, that’s shifting the onus for not just further market gains, but sustaining existing gains, on earnings.”

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'treaded water' and 'awaited earnings from several Wall Street heavyweights'. This creates a false sense of urgency and importance around the stock market which may mislead readers into thinking that this is an unusual or significant event when it is not. Secondly, the author quotes Kathleen Brooks saying that JPMorgan should continue to be a pillar of support for bank earnings due to net interest income. However, this statement implies that JPMorgan's earnings are solely dependent on net interest income which may not be entirely accurate as other factors such as revenue and expenses also play a role in determining profitability. Lastly, the author uses quotes from experts without disclosing their sources or providing any context for their opinions. This makes it difficult to determine the credibility of these statements.
