This week, investors will focus on major corporate earnings, April jobs data, and the latest inflation report. President Donald Trump’s 100th day in office coincides with ongoing trade policy developments that continue to influence stock market volatility. Prominent companies such as Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), ExxonMobil (XOM), Coca-Cola (KO), and McDonald’s (MCD) are set to release quarterly results. Additionally, the April jobs report and the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation report will be released as President Trump urges the central bank to cut interest rates. Other key economic indicators include first-quarter GDP, consumer confidence surveys, and U.S. trade balance data.
