US stocks were mixed on Monday, wavering slightly after last week’s run to record highs in the wake of an encouraging April inflation report. Investors’ main focus this week will be on artificial intelligence, with Nvidia earnings set to be released after the market close on Wednesday. Investors expect the company to report quarterly sales of nearly $25 billion, which is about four times the $6.5 billion in revenue it did in the year-ago quarter.
Microsoft’s 2024 Build Conference is the other big AI event of the week, and will showcase new hardware and software products from the company.
“We expect Microsoft to push Copilot further into its consumer/enterprise product stack and more integration with Excel, Teams, Word along with new Surface products and Windows features front and center,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a Monday note.
On the economic front, investors will be hearing from nine Federal Reserve officials on Monday and Tuesday. Data releases this week include the minutes from the Fed’s May FOMC meeting, existing home sales on Wednesday morning, and PMI data on Thursday.
