Earnings from PepsiCo today and Delta tomorrow precede big banks and key chip names reporting next week. Oil and yields are elevated after the most recent Middle East skirmishes.
Though overnight strikes in the Strait of Hormuz kept the market on edge, chips kept gaining early today. PepsiCo's earnings appeared to disappoint but jobless claims were subdued.
The swift move out of chips Tuesday could reflect market fatigue and precedes key chip company earnings next week. Fed minutes are today's highlight amid inflation concerns.
Yesterday's chip revival put tech back in the driver's seat, and it's in focus again today as South Korean semiconductor giant Samsung reports. SpaceX joins the Nasdaq 100 today.
The calendar is light this week, with earnings season around the corner. Investors may scrutinize Fed minutes on Wednesday while the Dow strives to continue outperforming.
