What to expect in the week ahead (AAPL, AMZN, MSFT, GOOG, KO)

The Week Ahead in Focus

It will be a busy week on both the micro and macro fronts. Second-quarter earnings season ramps up, as more than 150 S&P 500 firms report, including Big Tech. The Federal Reserve's policy committee will announce an interest-rate decision on Wednesday afternoon, and economists will get a look at a bevy of new data.

The Federal Open Market Committee meets on Tuesday and Wednesday. The central bank is certain to raise its target interest rate -- the question is whether that be a 75 basis points or 100 basis points hike.

Economic data out this week will include the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index for May and the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for July, both on Tuesday. The Census Bureau releases the preliminary durable goods report for June on Wednesday, then the Bureau of Economic Analysis releases its preliminary estimate for second-quarter 2022 gross domestic product on Thursday and the BEA reports personal income and spending data for June on Friday.
