The Week Ahead

Big earnings & macro week this week. We have most of the Major Tech names reporting - TSLA, META, APPL, MSFT and a slew of other names. Over the weekend social media has been obsessed with the new Chinese AI Model Deep Seek. Theories are wide ranging on how this will impact the market and particularly AI Stocks.

FOMC Decision on Wednesday, no rate change is expected it’ll be all about the commentary from Speakers. We have PCE Thursday morning and US Employment Index on Friday.

While the Macro events are worth noting I will be concentrating on Earnings. Focus in Real Time after hours on the Big names but there are tons of smaller names that could make strong moves. It’s easy to get overwhelmed on a week like this. Usually it pays to not overthink and follow the big headlines.
