They cover pivotal economic events, including the looming tariff deadline, the Fed meeting, a crucial inflation report, and the latest jobs numbers. Plus, they preview the Magnificent Seven stocks reporting earnings this week—Microsoft MSFT, Apple AAPL, Amazon AMZN and Meta Platforms META—and revisit some former stock picks reporting soon, too.
