Four Major Variables Looming— Earnings: On Wednesday, $Meta Platforms(META.US), $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Amazon(AMZN.US), and $Microsoft(MSFT.US) all report on the same day, with $Apple(AAPL.US) closing the show on Thursday. This is the most intensive earnings week of the year, and with market expectations already high, only results that beat estimates can support valuations. Fed: The FOMC decision is also on Wednesday, with a high probability of no interest rate cut. Special context: This may be Powell's last time chairing the meeting, making the wording and coded language worth a close read. Geopolitics: US-Iran talks are progressing, with oil prices at a high of $100/barrel. If the talks break down, inflationary pressures will rise again, narrowing the window for rate cuts. Capital Flows: The quarter-end institutional portfolio rebalancing is winding down. Whether AI funds continue to pour in or quietly retreat will become clear next week. The broader market is up over 12% this month and is no longer cheap. With the direction unclear, let the earnings speak first. ### Related Stocks - [META.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/META.US.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [AMZN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZN.US.md) - [MSFT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [GGLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLS.US.md) - [GGLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GGLL.US.md) - [AMZU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMZU.US.md) - [MSFL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFL.US.md) - [MSFO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFO.US.md) - [MSFD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFD.US.md) - [MSFU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFU.US.md) - [MSFX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFX.US.md) - [MSFY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFY.US.md) - [AAPB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPB.US.md) - [AAPD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPD.US.md) - [AAPU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPU.US.md) - [AAPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPX.US.md) - [AAPY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPY.US.md) - [APLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APLY.US.md) - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) ## Comments (1) - **阿木马 · 2026-04-25T12:22:44.000Z**: Amazon will definitely rise.
