Stocks finished last week largely unchanged, but not before going on a wild roller-coaster ride. The S&P 500 index fell 2.1% on Tuesday, its largest daily decline since October, as President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on some European countries in a bid to wrest control of Greenland from Denmark. Stocks spent the rest of the week recouping most of those losses as Trump backed off those threats during his speech Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
With the Greenland brouhaha sidelined for now, investors can look ahead to a big week of earnings as about a fifth of S&P 500 companies will report, including four of the Magnificent Seven.
Boeing and General Motors will report results on Tuesday, followed by Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Tesla on Wednesday. Apple, Mastercard, and Visa will announce their earnings on Thursday, and oil giants Chevron and Exxon Mobil will close out the week on Friday.
This week will also see the Federal Open Market Committee announce its monetary-policy decision on Wednesday. Anticipation is muted for this FOMC meeting as the central bank is widely expected to keep the federal-funds rate unchanged. Nevertheless, Wall Street will be eager to hear from Jerome Powell, now in his final few months as Fed Chair, for clues as to how long the Federal Reserve plans to hold rates steady.
