“This is the blockbuster week," Robert Schein says. “It’s going to tell us everything we need to know.” He notes that right now, 2026 earnings are expected to be better than in 2025. As to the Fed, “we believe in September, we will see a cut,” he says, and maybe another in December. His stock picks right now include Apple (AAPL), which he says just needs a product refresh and D.R. Horton (DHI), which he considers the strongest of the homebuilders.

Todd Rosenbluth is waiting to see if the Fed sets the stage for rate cuts in the fall with this FOMC decision. He looks at the issue through the lens of ETF investors, noting another record pace in ETF flows for this year. U.S.-listed fixed income ETFs have seen $206B in net inflows year-to-date, with SGOV the most popular. He also points to other “creative ways” investors are finding to use their money in the sector, like covered call ETFs.

Charles Schwab’s Omar Aguilar reacts to the first read of 2Q GDP and analyzes the American economy. Looking at earnings, he expects profit margins to squeeze because of trade deals, driving volatility. Inflation expectations could drive bonds up, he warns as well. He previews the FOMC meeting and Fed Chair Powell’s comments, saying economic data and a “stable” labor market mean no cut this month. He sees opportunities in high-quality corporate bonds and pushes investors away from riskier junk-rated bonds. “International investing is always a good opportunity,” Omar adds.

Melissa Di Donato sees caution and volatility tightening liquidity, pressuring executives on how they use company cash for acquisitions, paying down debt, or other business activities. Short-term liquidity for U.S. corporates with revenues of $1B+ was $3.2T at the end of 1Q, a $500 billion drop from last year. Long-term debt rose as well, while available undrawn credit fell. Melissa addresses the “trust gap”: Kyriba’s survey of CFOs show that 5 out of 10 are excited about the transformational impact of AI, but 8 of 10 are concerned about security and privacy risks.

There will be "no time to catch our breath" with Wednesday's FOMC interest rate decision and earnings from Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META), says Alex Coffey. The SPX, however, looks a little more sleepy. Alex shows how the index steadily hits "all-time high after all-time high" despite realized volatility being at "extremely low" levels.
