Wall Street week ahead: monthly jobs report, McDonald’s and SpaceX earnings

This week, Wall Street is focused on corporate earnings and jobs reports to understand how the U.S. economy is performing amid high inflation. Companies like Clorox, Marriott, SpaceX, McDonald’s, and Expedia are releasing their earnings, which will help investors see where people are spending money. Over half of the S&P 500 companies have already reported strong profit growth, and this could justify the rising stock values. Additionally, important economic reports, including job openings and the monthly employment report, are being released. Employment remains strong, but job growth is slowing, which is a concern for the Federal Reserve as it considers interest rate changes.
