This week is pivotal for the markets, with major companies like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Meta set to report their quarterly earnings. Investors are particularly keen to see if the substantial investments in artificial intelligence by these tech giants are beginning to yield returns.

Stay tuned as this week unfolds, bringing significant developments that could shape the market’s direction in the coming months.
