Market Strategy

Earnings season heats up this week, with Big Tech taking center stage.

Inflation will loom large this week, with the government releasing new Consumer Price Index data and big bank earnings shedding light on how Americans are keeping up.

This week will be bookended with new beginnings: SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq 100 index, and another quarterly earnings season will begin with results from Pepsi and Delta.

June jobs numbers are coming, and investors are likely to study them even more carefully now that the Fed is eyeing higher interest rates.

Economen zullen deze week de door de Fed geprefereerde inflatie-index bijwerken, waardoor investeerders de kans krijgen om te zien hoe de laatste lezing overeenkomt met de nieuw hawkish centrale bank.

Inflation could be the story of the week—if it's not a big IPO. Investors will get another look at how the conflict with Iran is hitting prices when the Consumer Price Index report for May arrives Wednesday.

Investor focus will shift from Wall Street to Main Street over the course of the week, with quarterly results from a few big names in tech and retail landing ahead of a key labor market update.

There's a Fed meeting this week, and while they're always closely watched, this one is of particular interest to investors keen to see how the central bank says the economy is weathering the U.S.-Iran conflict.

Investors remain focused on developments in U.S.-Iran relations, with news of a ceasefire and an open-for-business Strait of Hormuz firing up investor optimism on Friday. But some economic and corporate news will also get attention this week.

Questions about whether the U.S. has reached an enduring resolution with Iran—and what it means for oil—continue to dog investors. Meanwhile, big banks will release results that shed light on how the conflict has impacted the economy following last Friday's inflation data.

War headlines continue to move markets—sometimes, a lot. But investors will also watch for movement on inflation and earnings in the days ahead.

Developments in the Iran conflict will remain a top focus for investors this week, but economic data and corporate events will also clamor for attention after another down week for stocks.
