Highlights and Lowlights
After record highs the previous week, this week has been a relatively quiet one on Wall Street. The SPX500 slipped 0.09% and the DJ30 retreated 0.36%. The NSDQ100 was slightly up, registering a 0.29% climb.
Although upbeat earnings reports continued to provide some lift, the sentiment was tempered by concerns over rising Delta variant COVID-19 infections and the regulatory crackdown of Chinese authorities negatively affecting top Chinese tech companies.
What’s in Store for the Week?
It will be another busy week ahead with earnings reports from Alibaba, Uber, Kraft Heinz, Virgin Galactic and Moderna. Investors will also be watching upcoming manufacturing, industrial production and jobs reports, all of which are indicators of the pace of economic recovery.
