US Stock Market Today Live: How Corporate Earnings Of US Companies Are Faring?
Tracking the Q2 earnings scorecard, the results continue to be very strong, even when removing one-time earnings contributions due to investment gains from Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft. So far, 442 of the S&P 500 companies have reported results and 69% have beat estimates on the top line while 87% have beat on the bottom line. Perhaps more impressively EPS growth is currently tracking at 51.44% and revenue growth is at 14.70%. When excluding one-time investment gains, the EPS growth rate for the S&P 500 is tracking 26-29% (according to estimates from Goldman Sachs and data compiled by LSEG): Charles Schwab.

US Stock Market Today Live: Nasdaq Vs S&P 500
Although the Nasdaq is not at new highs like the other majors, tech stocks continued to rebound, initiated by both last week's collapse of hedge fund Situational Awareness (capitulation event) coupled with evidence of AI monetization & forecasted growth acceleration from both Microsoft and Amazon. Palantir's solid "beat and raise" quarter on Monday also helped boost sentiment around software and the entire AI cohort. Lastly, after consolidating within a trading range of roughly 7,250-7,600 for three months, the S&P 500 index broke out to fresh all-time highs on Wednesday. In my view, in addition to the incremental bullish technical development, when the SPX breaks out to fresh all-time highs, additional buying pressure can result from both a) performance chasing by fund managers and b) short covering: Charles Schwab.

US Stock Market Live: US Dollar Gains
The dollar index hovered around 99.6 on Monday after sliding sharply in the previous session, pressured by weaker-than-expected US employment data that lowered expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate hike. Nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly declined by 23,000 in July, while steep downward revisions to the prior two months further signaled a deterioration in labor market conditions. Investors are now turning their attention to key inflation data due this week for additional clues on the monetary policy outlook. Meanwhile, markets continued to track developments in the Middle East as Iran denied holding direct talks with the US, despite Washington’s claims that a deal was imminent. Tehran also maintained demands for an end to the US naval blockade, the lifting of sanctions and compensation for war-related damage before agreeing to any deal, as per Trading Economics.
