Big Tech earnings, a key Fed meeting, and Trump's first full week in office: What to know this week
Published On Jan 26, 2025, 7:35 AM
This article discusses a busy week ahead for investors, primarily focusing on earnings from major tech companies such as Meta, Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla, which are critical for the S&P 500's growth. Additionally, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce no changes to interest rates, with attention on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments. Trump's recent policies, which have notably influenced market sentiment, including a significant AI investment announcement, are also crucial factors as economic data, particularly GDP and inflation metrics, are set to be released.
Stock Forecasts
AAPL
Positive
Due to expected strong earnings from big tech which could bolster the market, and the Fed's decision to keep rates unchanged, big tech stocks like AAPL and MSFT are likely to see positive movement. Given their anticipated earnings growth, these stocks may retain or gain momentum following earnings releases.
NVDA
Positive
With the significant positive sentiment towards AI investments, companies like ORCL (Oracle) and NVDA (NVIDIA) could benefit from increased investment flows and bullish market trends. The recent announcements may help sustain upward price movement in these stocks following the earnings reports and policy decisions.
CVX
Neutral
While the broader market might face pressure if economic data underperforms, energy stocks like CVX are influenced by ongoing global oil demand and could experience stable, if not slight downward pressure. They may have a mixed reaction depending on the economic data released throughout the week.
