Tuesday 4/29
We enter the heart of earnings season, with roughly one-third of S&P 500 index companies reporting, the busiest week on the first-quarter earnings calendar. Coca-Cola and Visa announce earnings on Tuesday, followed by Meta Platforms and Microsoft on Wednesday. Amazon.com, Apple, Eli Lilly, and Mastercard release results on Thursday, while Chevron and Exxon Mobil close out the week on Friday.
Wednesday 4/30
The Bureau of Economic Analysis releases the personal consumption expenditures price index for March. Consensus estimate is for a 2.2% year-over-year increase, three-tenths of a percentage point less than in February. The core PCE price index, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, is seen rising 2.6%, compared with 2.8% previously. If the Federal Reserve's favored inflation gauge, the core PCE, comes in as expected, it would be the lowest annual reading since March 2021.
Friday 5/2
The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the jobs report for April. Economists forecast a 130,000 gain in nonfarm payrolls, after a 228,000 increase in February. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.2%.
