Hello, Happy Monday to all! ๐
This week promises to be an exceptionally intriguing one, especially for those of us with an eye on stocks and technology. With five out of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” tech giants scheduled to release their quarterly reports, the US earnings season is hitting its peak. Over 300 companies will make their voices heard on Wall Street, marking a pivotal moment for investors and market watchers alike. ๐๐ผ
The spotlight will undoubtedly be on the earnings results from five of the “Magnificent Seven” โ Alphabet and Microsoft reporting on Tuesday, followed by Amazon, Apple, and Meta all on Thursday. This week will see a total of 106 S&P 500 companies, including six Dow components, sharing their quarterly achievements according to FactSet. Beyond the big tech names, we’re also anticipating reports from AMD, General Motors, Pfizer (all on Tuesday), Qualcomm, Boeing (both on Wednesday), and Exxon Mobil (Friday), among many others. ๐๐
Adding to the week’s excitement, Wednesday evening will bring the latest interest rate decision from the US Federal Reserve. Investors are largely expecting the Fed to maintain interest rates within the 5.25% to 5.50% range. However, all eyes will be on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s conference for any hints on when the US central bank might begin to lower rates. ๐ฆ๐ก
The week will wrap up with the release of the US jobs report for January and an update on the unemployment rate on Friday. Economists are predicting a slight decrease in new job creation and an unchanged unemployment rate of 3.7%. ๐๐ฅ
As we navigate through this week full of financial disclosures and economic updates, let’s stay tuned for any significant developments. Whether you’re directly invested in the markets or simply keeping an eye on the broader economic landscape, these reports can provide valuable insights into the current state and future direction of the global economy. ๐๐ฎ
Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the week. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for positive movements and insightful revelations.
Hugs,
