Markets were somewhat mixed on Monday, with the Nasdaq the only major index pushing lower. The Dow Jones industrials and S&P 500 were up 0.9% and 0.6%, respectively, while the Nasdaq was just barely negative. However, big things are coming for the Nasdaq this week, with a tidal wave of big tech earnings.

On the big tech earnings radar are the likes of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft, which account for roughly one-quarter of the S&P 500’s market cap. These are also major contributors to the Nasdaq index as well.

Also, the preliminary reading for gross domestic product is coming out on Thursday, and economists are expecting the U.S. economy to grow 2.3% year over year. This comes after two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, which many consider a recession, as per the classical definition.
