"Consensus expects a 9% year/year decline in S&P 500 EPS driven by flat sales growth and margin compression," noted analysts at Goldman Sachs.

This week also has major data on U.S. consumer prices which is forecast to show headline inflation slowed to its lowest level since early 2021 at 3.1%, with the core easing to 5.0%.
