Wall Street Outlook for the Week Ahead
The week ahead on Wall Street features a relatively quiet U.S. economic data calendar, with focus shifting to geopolitical developments and major corporate events. President Donald Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House, where trade relations, tariffs, AI cooperation, and potential purchases of American goods like Boeing aircraft are expected topics. Investors also look forward to key earnings reports from Costco, Darden Restaurants, Cintas, Paychex, General Mills, and others. Meta Platforms will host its Connect event with updates on artificial intelligence and virtual reality products. McDonald's is holding an investor day while the Treasury Department announces a bond-buyback decision. Oracle faces skepticism over AI spending but shows strong RPO growth and deferred revenue that could signal future performance improvements. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic about Oracle’s long-term potential despite concerns. The week also includes several other earnings reports, including ABIVAX on Monday and AutoZone and KB Home on Tuesday.
