Focus This Week on Mega-Cap Earnings and Fed Decision
Looking ahead, 《小犬的投資日誌》 stressed the real test comes in the next few days. Heavyweight tech giants including Microsoft and Alphabet will release earnings this week, and the U.S. Federal Reserve will announce its rate decision on Wednesday. There are two key areas to watch: first, AI capital expenditure, whether tech giants' capex on AI infrastructure shows signs of shrinking; second, Fed signals, whether officials release hawkish or dovish policy signals on rate hikes or cuts. With market volatility likely to intensify, investors should manage asset allocation and carefully assess risks.
