Monday Market Must-Knows: April 29, 2024

The upcoming trading week promises excitement, but maybe not as intense as the last! 

Last week featured heavy hitters like Tesla, Meta, Microsoft, and Google reporting earnings, alongside significant economic data. This week, over 1,220 companies are reporting earnings, with notable names like Amazon, Apple, AMD, and McDonald's among them. 

Economic focus shifts to employment data, with releases including ADP non-farm employment change, Jolts job openings, unemployment claims, and the unemployment rate. 

On Wednesday, the attention turns to central banks, with an announcement expected to maintain the current interest rate. Following the announcement, Jerome Powell's remarks will provide insights into the Fed's stance on inflation, jobs, and the economy. 

Investors should closely monitor these developments for potential impacts on market volatility and portfolio positioning. 

Key highlights include earnings from Amazon and Apple, coupled with the Fed's rate decision and Powell's subsequent comments.
