Tech stocks lead the rebound

Wall Street ended Tuesday's session in positive territory, with optimism around artificial intelligence and solid earnings expectations supporting share prices (Na Wall Street wzrosty.

Shares of chipmakers drew particular attention, and investors concentrated on technology names (Technologie napędzają giełdy w USA. Inwestorzy czekają na Fed i raporty gigantów – Bankier.pl). Futures had pointed to a modest start to the day, though traders stayed cautious ahead of the central bank's decision and a new wave of quarterly reports (Przed sesją na Wall Street: wyczekiwanie na decyzję FOMC i wyniki Big Tech – Puls Biznesu).

Oil decline shifts sector balance

Crude oil continued to fall, which weighed on energy companies and increased the supply of their shares on the market (Na giełdach w USA nadal drożeją spółki technologiczne, głównie AI – Puls Biznesu). The drop in oil prices also drew investors' attention as they assessed the broader outlook for inflation.

Fed and earnings in focus

A Federal Reserve decision on interest rates is expected this week, and roughly a third of the companies in the S&P 500 are set to publish quarterly results, including Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon.com (Na Wall Street przewaga wzrostów. Spółki technologiczne drożeją – Puls Biznesu). Analysts have questioned whether the heavy spending on AI will pay off, while high financing costs and oil prices limit the room for further gains. Inflation and US economic growth data are also due in the same period, and markets are preparing for a busy stretch of releases (Przed sesją na Wall Street: rynek próbuje odbić, Fed, ropa i wyniki Big Tech w centrum uwagi – Puls Biznesu).
