US Tech Earnings and Fed Decision Highlight Market Uncertainty Amid AI and Oil Concerns
This week, US markets focus on quarterly earnings from major tech firms like Microsoft, Apple, Meta, and Amazon, with investor attention on AI spending and capital expenditure plans. The Federal Reserve's July interest rate decision is expected to hold steady, while oil price fluctuations and geopolitical tensions, particularly involving the US and Iran, add uncertainty. Asian markets experienced declines amid concerns over AI investment costs and rising competition in semiconductor manufacturing, notably from China. Market volatility reflects cautious investor sentiment ahead of key economic data and policy decisions.
