Four out of the six largest U.S. corporations – including Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) and Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) – are set to report their latest quarterly earnings between Tuesday and Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve will hold its two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, concluding Wednesday with the rate statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell‘s press conference.
The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates steady, but traders will closely watch for any signals of a potential rate cut in September. Market-implied odds currently fully factor in a September rate cut, as shown by CME Group’s FedWatch tool.
Additionally, crucial labor market statistics will be released this week, including the June Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTs) on Tuesday, July private payroll numbers from Automatic Data Processing Inc. on Wednesday, and the highly anticipated official employment report for July on Friday.

In commodities markets, oil fell 1.1%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude dropping below $76, hitting a fresh 7-week low as bearish demand developments in China outweighed supply concerns from rising Middle East tensions. U.S. natural gas prices also fell 1.4%.
Gold inched 0.5% lower, while copper and silver declined 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) held steady at around $68,000, failing to rally significantly despite bullish headlines over the weekend.
