The tech sell-off looks set to resume after the break for Presidents Day, as AI concerns continue to simmer. Investors are on the lookout for the next potential victim after fresh worries about AI's ability to upend industries hit stocks in sectors from wealth management to transportation to logistics. The Dow and S&P 500 have fallen in four of the past five weeks amid that pressure.
This week, earnings season enters its final stretch. Results from Constellation Energy (CEG), Energy Transfer (ET) are in focus for signals on how AI's power demand is changing the energy business, with Medtronic (MDT), Palo Alto Networks (PANW) also on Tuesday's docket. But the week's highlight is Walmart's (WMT) quarterly report on Thursday, the first since the retail giant joined the trillion-dollar market cap club.
Elsewhere in corporates, Paramount Skydance (PSKY) stock rose 2% before the bell on Tuesday following the news that Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) has given the studio one week to come back with a better offer. Warner Bros rejected the latest bid from the Hollywood studio.
The holiday-shortened week also brings a flurry of economic readings delayed by the partial US shutdown. The December print of the Personal Consumption Expenditures index due Friday is in focus after the latest consumer inflation report came in cooler than expected.
An advance look at fourth quarter GDP, also on Friday, should provide an economic health check amid an ongoing debate about the pace of interest-rate cuts this year. Before that, minutes from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting in January will also feed into those calculations, as questions swirl around a purported "loyalty pledge" signed by Kevin Warsh, Trump's pick for the next Fed chair.LIVE10 updates
