Investors are watching closely as the U.S. and China restart trade talks in London, aiming to ease tensions and avoid another round of tariff escalations. Meanwhile, a $58 billion Treasury auction could test demand for U.S. debt at a time when long-end yields hover near 5%a level many thought would spark broader market reactions.

Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) is rolling out new AI-powered upgrades across its networking portfolio to stay competitive in the enterprise race. Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) posted a 40% revenue surge in May as chipmakers rushed to build inventory ahead of potential trade roadblocks. Not everything was rosyMcDonald's (NYSE:MCD) was slapped with a rare sell rating from Redburn Atlantic, and Citigroup (NYSE:C) is preparing to book hundreds of millions more in loan loss provisions, signaling early cracks in consumer credit health.
