This week is a relatively important week for US stocks
Both the Federal Reserve and individual companies have important data to be released
In addition to Non-Agricultural Week, this week is also earnings week
As the first earnings season progresses to the middle,
Nearly half of the S&P 500 companies have published financial reports.
Up to now, about 77% of companies have announced EPS that are higher than market expectations.
Among them, better-than-expected earnings reports from Alphabet and Microsoft had a positive impact on market sentiment.
In contrast, Meta's performance fell short of market expectations.
It presents a very different picture, but they all continue to invest in AI
Entering a new week,
The focus of the market will shift to the heavy financial reports of two of the “Big Seven” companies.
First, after Tuesday's market, Amazon will announce its results.
After the market on Thursday, Apple will release its earnings report.
Considering the decline in shipments in the Chinese smartphone market,
Analysts have lowered their performance expectations for Apple.
The market will also pay special attention to Apple's service revenue
As well as its further plans in the field of artificial intelligence.
In the semiconductor industry,
AMD's earnings report is expected to be the focus of the market after the market on Tuesday.
The continued growth of data centers is expected to be a supporting factor.
However, the PC side and gaming sector may be affected by cyclical factors.
On Wednesday, Qualcomm will share its views on AI PCs and AI phones.
Additionally, server manufacturer SMCI also deserves market attention.

I hope US stocks will plummet in the last two weeks
The AI tech stock bubble bursting
Or shorting US AI technology stocks
I'm afraid I'll be disappointed
Because no matter TSMC, Meta, Google,
Microsoft's performance
They all benefit from profits and orders due to the high demand for AI
Therefore, after a sharp correction in stock prices,
Let's have a big backlash
Shorters are like throwing coins at a high place

The growth rate of individual US semiconductor stocks since January 2024
Driven by artificial intelligence (AI), the semiconductor sector experienced a very impressive increase in 2024. In addition to the much-publicized Yingweida (NVDA), which has risen more than 82% this year, Micron Technology (MU) has also risen more than 50% due to strong demand for AI chips. The company's earnings report for the quarter turned a loss into a win, greatly surpassing Wall Street analysis and starting a new round of semiconductor bull market. Other semiconductor equipment suppliers all had good gains, outperforming the S&P 500's earnings. Let's wait and see for how long the semiconductor sector's hot momentum can continue!
