Investors wondering where the S&P 500 is headed, at least for the next month or so, will want to pay attention to three key days this week.<\/p>\n
Between Tuesday and Thursday, five Big Tech companies with a combined market value of more than $10 trillion\u00a0will report\u00a0<\/a>earnings: Microsoft<\/a> Corp., Alphabet<\/a> Inc., Meta Platforms<\/a> Inc., Amazon<\/a>.com Inc. and Apple<\/a> Inc. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve will issue its decision on interest rates, followed by Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s press conference where he\u2019s expected to discuss the outlook ahead.<\/p>\n
The rally is again being led by megacaps including Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon.com, Nvidia<\/a> and Meta Platforms, which were responsible for a majority of the index\u2019s 24% gain last year as investors became captivated by the possibilities of artificial intelligence services. The so-called Magnificent Seven, which also includes Tesla<\/a> Inc., just hit a record 29% of the S&P 500 despite a slump in shares of the electric-vehicle maker that\u2019s erased more than $200 billion in market value just this month.<\/p>\n
Microsoft and Alphabet will kick off earnings on Tuesday after markets close. The two companies are among the best positioned to benefit from the AI boom after investing heavily in the field for years. Microsoft has been adding the\u00a0features<\/a>\u00a0to its suite of software products, and investors are betting that AI will soon start boosting profit and sales growth.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the focus shifts to the end of the Fed\u2019s January meeting, where it\u2019s expected to hold interest rates steady for a fourth-consecutive meeting. Traders will be primarily focused on what Powell and other policymakers have to say about the timing of easing. Recent data showing\u00a0inflation continuing to recede<\/a>\u00a0and resilient\u00a0US economic growth<\/a>\u00a0suggest central bankers won\u2019t be in a hurry to cut interest rates.<\/p>\n

The Magnificent Seven stocks were again named the\u00a0most crowded trade<\/a>\u00a0in a Bank of America<\/a> survey of fund managers, according to a research note published by the bank last week.<\/p>\n
Still, traders aren\u2019t rushing to scoop up hedges against declines, according to options market data.<\/p>\n
A gauge of projected price swings in Apple in the next three months is hovering near the lowest level in six years. Traders expect a 3.3% move in the stock in either direction a day after the results, which would be among the narrowest post-earnings swings in two years.<\/p>\n
Projected three-month volatility in Meta Platforms, which more than quadrupled since its November 2022 nadir, is at the lowest in two years. The cost of protection against a 10% decline in Microsoft in the next month is hovering near the lowest level since August relative to the cost of options that profit from a similar rally.<\/p>\n
Tesla demonstrated the risks last week after missing fourth-quarter earnings estimates and\u00a0warning<\/a>\u00a0that its sales growth would be \u201cnotably lower\u201d in 2024. The stock tumbled 12% the following day, its biggest drop in a year.<\/p>\n
