A currency trader watches monitors at the foreign exchange dealing room of the KEB Hana Bank headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, Monday, July 17, 2023. Wall Street is drifting on Monday, as stocks worldwide stall following the latest signal that the world's second-largest economy is flagging.
In the United States, the economy has remained resilient even though an expected boost from a Chinese recovery has yet to materialize. It's managed to avoid a long-predicted recession despite much higher interest rates meant to push down high inflation. Several banks and Delta Air Lines helped kick off the reporting season last week with reports that were better than feared. This upcoming week will feature reports from Bank of America, Netflix and Tesla, among others.
Easier interest rates help all kinds of stocks, but investors see big technology and other high-growth stocks as some of the biggest beneficiaries. Microsoft also said on Sunday it agreed with Sony to keep the Call of Duty series on the PlayStation console following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, a move that could help ease regulators' worries about the deal. Microsoft slipped 0.4%.
