A negative surprise could add to current selling pressure • A large list of large-cap stocks will report profits. Analysts will be looking closely at AMD's growth forecast and UPS's cost-cutting measures. Surprises on either side might result in huge price movements. • Lastly, oil prices fell as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its Russia-led allies prepared for their next meeting on February 1. More volatility could be ahead. Economic data • US CB Consumer Confidence, Chicago PMI, labour cost, House Price Index • EU GDP • German CPI, retail sales, unemployment rate Earnings • AMD, EA, Sysco, Match Group • Pfizer, McDonald's, Caterpillar • Amgen, General Motors • Exxon Mobil, Marathon Petroleum, UPS Crypto • Bitcoin gave back its weekend gains as traders await monetary policy changes announcements by major Western central banks later this week. • Binance and Mastercard Join Forces to Introduce Crypto Prepaid Card in Brazil.

The major indexes fell steadily throughout most of the session, led by tech and discretionary stocks. Energy (-2.3%) was the worst performer among the 11 sectors, as oil prices fell ahead of the OPEC+ meeting on Wednesday. And the dollar rose on rising liquidity demand and bond yields. This morning, S&P500 futures are proceeding with caution as markets await crucial economic data and high-impact earnings reports. Investors will be closely monitoring the releases from Pfizer, AMD, and UPS as these companies are expected to provide valuable insights into their respective industries. Chart Of the Day EU service sentiment continued to improve in January, supported by a strong rebound in Chinese growth and demand from within the continent.
