Good MorningStocks traded cautiously as investors parsed early Magnificent Seven reports for signs that hefty AI spending is translating into earnings growth. The S&P 500 has been sluggish in 2026, up just over 1% year to date, with money shifting toward quality and fundamentals after a year of narrative-driven leadership. NVIDIA notably pulled back amid the trading in big tech names, reflecting investor scrutiny of near-term profitability.
Policy and data shocks added to the uncertainty. The Labor Department said it will delay the January jobs report because of the partial government shutdown, removing a key economic data point from this week’s calendar. At the same time, Washington moved to shore up domestic supply chains—the White House unveiled a roughly $12 billion “Project Vault” strategic rare-earth reserve and signaled tariff changes with India—moves that could reshape defense, mining, and materials plays after strong 2025 returns in those sectors.
On the corporate front, Disney beat expectations with box-office hits powering its quarter, while commodities were mixed: crude and copper eased, and gold rallied. With earnings, policy and omitted jobs data all in play, traders are watching company reports and government actions for cues on the market’s next leg.

From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
