- MSFT Release: 2025-10-29 T:AMC
- GOOGL Release: 2025-10-29 T:AMC
- META Release: 2025-10-29 T:AMC
Earnings summary and market conclusion:
As we approach several key tech earnings releases, notably from Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Meta Platforms (META) after the close today, with Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) following tomorrow after the close, index futures traders should be aware that market momentum and volume are likely to remain subdued. This is a typical pattern ahead of high-impact news from the core technology sector, which has an outsized influence on major indices. The “wait-and-see” stance by participants reflects ongoing uncertainty about the health of the AI-driven rally and broader growth outlook. This is particularly true with additional anticipation for future releases from NVDA and the rest of the MAG7 group. Volatility may increase sharply once earnings results and forward guidance are revealed, but until then expect thin liquidity and possible choppiness as major players hold off on committing large capital in advance of these pivotal updates.

EcoNews Summary
- Wednesday 14:00 – High Impact: Federal Funds Rate, FOMC Statement
The FOMC meeting is the key focus, with markets anticipating signals on the path of interest rates. Any indication of a pause, hike, or dovish/hawkish tone in the statement can rapidly shift index futures momentum, increase volatility, and drive sharp initial reactions. - Wednesday 14:30 – High Impact: FOMC Press Conference
The press conference may clarify or surprise expectations set by the statement, carrying significant potential for further moves, rapid sentiment shifts, or reversals. Market volatility often persists throughout this period. - Thursday 08:30 – High Impact: Advance GDP q/q
Advance GDP data gives traders a first look at economic growth for the quarter. GDP readings that deviate from consensus drive significant volatility in index futures, as they directly affect expectations for future Fed policy. - Friday 08:30 – High Impact: Core PCE Price Index m/m
The Core PCE is the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge; higher-than-expected inflation can drive concerns regarding additional rate hikes, impacting market sentiment and risk appetite. - Friday 08:30 – High Impact: Employment Cost Index q/q
Rising employment costs signal potential wage-driven inflation, which can unsettle the indices and influence near-term Fed expectations.
EcoNews Conclusion
- Major data releases and the FOMC dominate the week’s high-impact events, with potential for sustained volatility and sharp intraday moves across index futures.
- Market momentum and volume may slow in the days leading up to the FOMC Announcement and GDP/PCE releases, as traders position cautiously around these catalysts.
- Expect pronounced moves and possible whipsaws during the 14:00 (FOMC) and 08:30 (GDP, PCE, ECI) news windows.
