Earnings Radar

Monitoring for earnings releases by the Magnificent 7, AI-tech-related firms, and major financial institutions.

• MCHP Release: 2026-02-05 T:AMC
• AMZN Release: 2026-02-05 T:AMC
• GOOGL Release: 2026-02-04 T:AMC
• AMD Release: 2026-02-03 T:AMC
• SMCI Release: 2026-02-03 T:AMC

Looking ahead, the next several sessions will be pivotal for index futures traders, with a concentration of major earnings releases from key tech and semiconductor companies likely to drive short-term volatility. AMD and SMCI kick off on February 3rd after the close, followed by Alphabet (GOOGL) on February 4th AMC, then Amazon (AMZN) and Microchip Technology (MCHP) culminating on February 5th AMC. With core names from the MAG7 group (Alphabet and Amazon) set to report, along with high-momentum AI-adjacent semiconductor firms, near-term price action in index futures may experience subdued momentum and lighter volumes as participants position cautiously ahead of these announcements. The broader market is expected to remain in a holding pattern, closely watching for earnings surprises or guidance changes that could set direction, particularly in anticipation of forthcoming results from NVDA and other leading AI tech stocks. Initial moves post-earnings may see sharp re-pricing in tech-heavy indices, resetting sector sentiment and volatility expectations into the next round of critical reports.

EcoNews Radar U.S. Events

EcoNews Summary

• Friday 08:30 – High USD Core PPI m/m: This report measures changes in the selling prices received by U.S. producers excluding food and energy, offering insight into underlying inflation. A stronger-than-expected print typically fuels expectations of further Fed tightening, pressuring equities and supporting the dollar.
• Friday 08:30 – High USD PPI m/m: The headline Producer Price Index, inclusive of food and energy, also provides vital data on inflation at the producer level. Unexpectedly high readings may spark concerns about persistent inflationary pressures, influencing both rate expectations and risk sentiment.

EcoNews Conclusion

• Both PPI reports are key volatility drivers for U.S. indices futures, as traders react to updated inflation trends and the implications for monetary policy.
• High prints may weigh on indices, strengthening the dollar and increasing Treasury yields, while soft data could support risk assets.

Market News Summary

• Stocks & Indices: US stock futures slipped overnight, with the Dow and Nasdaq 100 pressured by concerns over AI sector spending and upcoming Federal Reserve policy shifts. The S&P 500 Software & Services industry officially entered bear market territory after a steep 8.5% decline on Thursday. A 12% selloff in Microsoft triggered broad risk-off moves across equities and risk assets.
• Federal Reserve: President Trump confirmed his pick of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair. Markets anticipate clarity on monetary policy. Market moves show volatility leading up to this announcement, and yields retreated as Warsh was named.
• Commodities: Gold saw extreme swings—initially up amid Iran tensions and fund flows, then sharply down as profit-taking and Fed speculation spurred volatility. Gold bounced around $5,210, while silver stabilized near $111 following heavy selling. Oil prices were mixed, supported by geopolitical tensions (US-Iran) and newly approved reforms in Venezuela giving operators more autonomy.
• Energy & Majors: Both Exxon and Chevron reported production at record highs. Despite low oil prices leading to lower profits overall, Exxon beat earnings expectations. Natural gas and oil futures pulled back toward key support as traders watched for further supply disruptions.
• Macro & Trade: New analysis from the Fed indicated US tariffs cost the economy 19,000 jobs monthly in 2025. President Trump raised the threat of tariffs on any nation supplying oil to Cuba, and a slower US population growth outlook implied weaker long-term economic expansion.
• Risk Assets & Trends: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies slumped on speculation the new Fed chair may favor tighter policy. Foreign government bond ETFs, particularly inflation-protected issues, outperformed US counterparts so far in 2026 as investors rotated out of US-focused fixed income.
• Sector Trends: Software, AI, and speculative tech lagged on market fears of a valuation reset, while gold and silver outperformance over equities entered its third year.
• Corporate & IPOs: OpenAI announced plans for a Q4 IPO, aiming to list ahead of rival Anthropic in the generative AI space. Hedge fund managers, including Paul Tudor Jones, rotated out of big tech and increased positions in gold ETFs.

News Conclusion

• Markets are driven by heightened rate speculation and volatility tied to the Federal Reserve chair transition, with clarity expected following Trump’s nomination of Warsh.
• US equity futures are under pressure from renewed sector rotation, AI valuation concerns, and sensitive reaction to macro policy headlines.
• The precious metals complex, while volatile, remains resilient near multi-year highs, with gold and silver performance drawing investor attention versus US stocks.
• Energy markets are balancing geopolitical risks and technical factors, while sector leaders like Exxon are showing operational strength despite lower pricing environments.
• Macro sentiment is clouded by persistent trade policy risks, job market erosion from tariffs, and signals of a structurally slower US economy.
• Cross-asset flows highlight investors’ search for yield and inflation protection via foreign bonds, as well as defensive rotation into select commodities.
