Monday saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq  reaching record highs helped by Alphabet’s pre-earnings jump. The Dow finished slightly lower.

Earnings season ramps up with over 60 S&P companies already reporting, 85% exceeding estimates . Investors focus on company insights about economic conditions, tariff impacts, and AI-related spending. Traders await Fed Chair Powell’s comments at a Washington event Tuesday morning.
