What to expect in the week ahead (NVDA, COST, ZM, BBY)

Weekly market recap

Stock futures rose in overnight trading Sunday after the $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ fell for its 8th straight week amid a broader market sell-off. Futures on the Dow industrial average gained 224 points, or 0.72%. $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ futures added 0.9% and $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$ futures rose 1.11%.

The moves came after the S&P 500 on Friday dipped into bear market territory on an intraday basis. While the benchmark was down 20% at one point, it did not close in a bear market after a late-day comeback.

The week ahead in focus

First-quarter earnings season winds down this week, but with more than a dozen S&P 500 companies left to report. Economists will be watching the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes and data on consumer earnings and spending and business investment.

Advance Auto Parts and Zoom Video Communications will be Monday's highlights, followed by AutoZone, Best Buy, and Toll Brothers on Tuesday. Dick's Sporting Goods, Nvidia, and Snowflake report on Wednesday.

Thursday will be busy: Alibaba Group Holding, Costco Wholesale, Dell Technologies, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Gap, Macy's, and Ulta Beauty all report.

There will also be several investor days and annual shareholders meetings this week, including from JPMorgan Chase on Monday and Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Meta Platforms, Twitter, and United Airlines Holdings on Wednesday.

Economic-data releases this week will include May Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Managers' indexes on Tuesday and the Census Bureau's durable goods report on Wednesday. The Bureau of Economic Analysis' personal income and spending data for April will be released on Friday.

Finally, minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's early-May monetary-policy meeting will be published on Wednesday. Officials increased the Fed's benchmark interest rate target by half a percentage point at that meeting and unveiled plans to begin reducing the size of the central bank's balance sheet.
