Nasdaq Composite,Earnings This Week,Jobs Report

Investors are bracing for a big week filled with a Fed rate decision, the jobs report and Big Tech earnings.

US stocks closed mostly flat on Monday to kick off a big week filled with a Federal Reserve rate decision, the jobs report, and Big Tech earnings. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 0.1%, coming off a surge of over 650 points for the blue-chip index on Friday. The S&P 500 gained nearly 0.1% while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose just above the flatline.

No move is expected from the Federal Reserve at the end of its meeting on Wednesday, despite signs the US economy and inflation have hit a sweet spot. Many on Wall Street see other reasons for the central bank to wait until September to act.
