Tech Jitters and Fed Uncertainty Weigh on Markets

U.S. stocks slipped as a pivotal week began, with investors bracing for a wave of Big Tech earnings and the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all edged lower, reflecting a cautious mood across markets. The pullback follows a choppy stretch for equities, as major indexes have struggled to regain momentum amid shifting expectations for interest‑rate cuts and ongoing geopolitical concerns. Tech stocks, in particular, have been under pressure after consecutive weekly declines, raising the stakes for earnings reports from industry giants. Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Tesla are all set to report in the coming days, and their results could determine whether the sector reclaims leadership or continues to drag on broader market performance. With the Fed meeting approaching, traders are looking for clarity on the central bank’s rate‑cut timeline. Until then, many appear content to stay on the sidelines as uncertainty hangs over the week ahead.

Israeli Strikes Kill 19 in Gaza Amid Ceasefire Negotiations


 In a tragic escalation of violence, Israeli airstrikes across Gaza resulted in the deaths of 19 people overnight, including a woman and her six children. These strikes occurred just as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the region to push forward ceasefire talks.

The situation remains tense, with months of contentious negotiations preceding this critical moment. Blinken’s visit aims to seal a ceasefire deal and bring an end to the hostilities that have plagued the area. However, the loss of innocent lives underscores the urgency of finding a peaceful resolution.

As the international community watches closely, hopes are pinned on diplomatic efforts to prevent further bloodshed and pave the way for lasting peace.
