U.S. stocks posted modest moves on Monday as investors digested trade updates and awaited key earnings reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 114 points, or 0.28%, while the S&P 500 inched up 3 points, or 0.06%. The Nasdaq Composite dipped 17 points, or 0.1%.
Markets found support from renewed optimism over trade deals. Vital Knowledge analyst Adam Crisafulli noted that "hope and hype" around trade negotiations might prevent a sharp drop in the S&P 500 but warned against chasing gains above the 5500 level.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent fueled optimism in a CNBC interview, saying several countries had offered “very good” tariff proposals. Bessent highlighted progress with Asian partners, South Korea, India, and Japan, and said all branches of the U.S. government remained in contact with China, urging de-escalation.
Signs that the Trump administration seeks to ease trade tensions helped sentiment, as concerns over the global economic impact from tariffs continue to loom.
Investors are now turning their attention to earnings from major tech companies including Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META). Microsoft and Meta report Wednesday, while Apple and Amazon are set for Thursday.
These earnings are seen as critical indicators of corporate resilience amid trade uncertainty and rising capital expenditures on artificial intelligence.
Reports from other heavyweights like Visa (NYSE:V), Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), and Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) are also expected this week, adding to a crucial test for markets navigating both trade developments and economic headwinds.
