Wall Street was mixed on Tuesday as a raft of mixed earnings took some wind out of the sails of the recent rally.

"It looks like NYSE got on it real early," said Joseph Sroka, chief investment officer at NovaPoint in Atlanta. "Now they’re trying to determine what opening trade prices were."All three indexes sputtered near the starting line, with little apparent momentum in either direction.

Fourth quarter earnings season is in full swing, with 72 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 65% have beaten consensus, just a hair below the 66% long-term average, according to Refinitiv. On aggregate, analysts now expect S&P 500 earnings 2.9% below the year-ago quarter, down from the 1.6% year-on-year decline seen on Jan. 1, per Refinitiv.

"Earnings don’t make a bull or bear case for the market yet, but there's an anxiousness among investors to be long when the Fed is done raising rates," Sroka added. "We’re hitting a ramp in the earnings cycle, and by next week we'll have a lot more information on the direction of the market." Economic data showed shallower-than-expected contraction in the manufacturing and services sector in the first weeks of the year, suggesting that the Federal Reserve's restrictive interest rates are dampening demand.
