U.S. Wall Street earnings and jobs data shape investor outlook

This week, major U.S. companies including The Clorox Company, Marriott International, SpaceX, McDonald’s Corporation and Expedia Group are scheduled to release earnings. SpaceX, which went public in June, will report its first quarterly results. The earnings season follows strong profit growth across the S&P 500 and record‑high market indexes.

At the same time, the Labor Department will publish the June job‑openings report on Tuesday and the July employment report on Friday. Job growth has been slowing amid persistent inflation, keeping the Federal Reserve’s interest‑rate outlook under close scrutiny.
