Bryn Talkington, managing partner of Requisite Capital Management, said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” that the stock market will likely be choppy in the coming weeks as investors try to navigate earnings season and the presidential election.

“Until the election is over and we can confirm the deadlock, I don’t think we’ll do much on the headline front, but I think under the surface we’ll see the haves and have-nots,” she said.

This week’s earnings reports were mixed, with solid reports from major banks somewhat offset by weak prospects from companies like… UnitedHealth Group and Dutch chip maker ASML.

On Wednesday, Morgan Stanley And Abbott Laboratories are two notable reports scheduled to be released before the market opens.
