Stock futures rise as U.S.-EU trade deal kicks off a hectic week for markets: Live updates
Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., July 25, 2025. Jeenah Moon | Reuters U.S. equity futures rose on Sunday evening as Wall Street prepared for an especially busy week that'll bring earnings from several major tech companies, a key Federal Reserve meeting, President Donald Trump's Aug. 1 tariff deadline and key inflation data. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 161 points, or 0.4%. S&P 500 futures were also higher by 0.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures added 0.5%. The move comes after Trump announced Sunday that the U.S. has reached an agreement with the European Union to lower tariffs to 15%. The president had previously threatened 30% tariffs on most imported goods from the U.S.'s largest trading partner. Wall Street is also coming off a winning week fueled by strong earnings and recent deals between the U.S. and other trading partners, including Japan and Indonesia. On Friday, all three of the major averages finished the day and week with gains. The blue-chip Dow climbed 208.01 points, or 0.47%, to settle at 44,901.92. The broad market S&P 500 gained 0.40% to close at 6,388.64, marking its fifth consecutive day of closing records and 14th record close of the year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.24% to 21,108.32 for its 15th record close of the year. "A healthy plethora of earnings beats, positive developments in U.S.-Japan trade relations, strong capex commentary, and a bullish "AI Action Plan" kept the enthusiasm of weeks' past stronger than ever," Nick Savone of Morgan Stanley's Institutional Equity Division said in a note over the weekend. "As we push through the bulk of S&P 500 companies still due to report, the lower bar heading into this season has admittedly kept spirits high, but stock reactions still look most principally rooted in forward guidance — especially as investors brace, time and again, for the impact of these trade headlines to flow through." The market is gearing up for the busiest week of earnings season. More than 150 companies in the S&P 500 are due to post their quarterly results, including "Magnificent Seven" names Meta Platforms and Microsoft on Wednesday, followed by Amazon and Apple on Thursday. Investors will be listening for companies' comments on AI spending for direction on whether big investments in hyperscalers this year are justified. This week, the Fed will also hold its two-day policy meeting, concluding on Wednesday. Although the central bank is expected to keep interest rates at their current target range of 4.25% to 4.5%, investors will be looking for clues about whether a rate cut could be on the table at the September meeting. Tariffs and their effect on inflation will remain in focus on Thursday as traders get the June personal consumption expenditures price (PCE) index, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation. The report is expected to show inflation rising to 2.4% from 2.3% year-over-year, according to FactSet, and to 0.31% from 0.14% on a monthly basis. Investors will also get a batch of jobs-related data this week, including the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, on Tuesday, ADP's private payrolls report on Wednesday, initial jobless claims Thursday and, on Friday, the critical July jobs report. Economists polled by FactSet anticipate the U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in July, down from 147,000 in June. The unemployment rate is expected to show a slight bump to 4.2% from 4.1%.

Alibaba (BABA) vs. Amazon (AMZN): Which E-Commerce Stock Has More Upside Ahead of Q2 Earnings?
The second-quarter earnings season is in full swing, and investors are closely watching global e-commerce leaders like Amazon (AMZN) and Alibaba (BABA) to assess the strength of consumer demand, the outlook for digital retail, and their growing role in artificial intelligence. Using TipRanks' Stock Comparison Tool, we will compare these two tech-powerhouse stocks to find the better pick ahead of the upcoming earnings results, according to Wall Street analysts. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Stock Alibaba is China's largest e-commerce and cloud services company, operating platforms like Taobao, Tmall, and AliCloud. The stock has climbed over 39% so far this year, driven by strong gains in its AI-powered cloud services and growing demand for instant delivery. The company is doubling down on artificial intelligence, aiming to use it to transform online shopping and cloud services. It is using AI across its apps and cloud platform to improve customer experience and stay ahead of the competition. Looking ahead, the company is set to report its Q1 FY26 earnings next month. Wall Street expects Alibaba to report earnings of $2.22 per share for Q1, down 3% from the year-ago quarter. The decline could be due to the company's heavy investment in logistics and delivery. Meanwhile, analysts project Q1 revenues at $35.46 billion, up 6% year-over-year. Is Alibaba Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Ahead of the Q1 results, Benchmark's Top analyst Fawne Jiang reiterated her Buy rating with a $176 price target, implying a 47% gain from current levels. The analyst sees recent share weakness as a 'buying opportunity' and encourages investors to 'build exposure on dips,' confident in Alibaba's strong long-term growth outlook. Nevertheless, she expects Alibaba's margins and profits to come under pressure in the near term due to increased spending. As a result, Benchmark has cut its EBITDA forecast to RMB44 billion for Q1 FY26 and RMB208 billion for the full FY26, 'reflecting near-term margin pressure.' Overall, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Alibaba stock based on 14 Buys and one Hold rating. The average Alibaba price target of $151.08 implies about 26% upside potential from current levels. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Stock E-commerce and cloud computing giant Amazon is proving the resilience of its business model despite macro challenges and tariff woes. The stock has climbed over 5% so far this year. Several analysts remain bullish on Amazon's high-margin cloud unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is expected to benefit from growing AI demand. In Q1 2025, AWS accounted for just 19% of revenue but delivered an impressive 63% of total operating profit. Meanwhile, Amazon's fast-expanding advertising segment is also emerging as a key growth engine. Looking ahead, Amazon is scheduled to announce its second-quarter results on July 31. Wall Street projects a 9% growth in Amazon's revenue to $162 million. Meanwhile, analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $1.32 compared to $1.26 in the prior-year quarter. Is Amazon a Buy, Hold, or Sell? Ahead of the Q2 print, BofA Securities analyst Justin Post raised his price target to $265, up from $248, while maintaining a Buy rating. Post expects Amazon's Q2 retail performance to be strong, helped by positive credit card spending data and an extended Prime Day. He also believes AWS is picking up pace, with a strong order backlog and rising cloud demand. The analyst now predicts Q2 revenue of $164 billion, above Wall Street's estimate of $162.1 billion. Turning to Wall Street, AMZN stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 44 Buys and one Hold assigned in the last three months. At $258.27, the average Amazon stock price target implies an 11.59% upside potential. Conclusion Ahead of earnings, Wall Street remains bullish on both Alibaba and Amazon stocks. However, analysts see greater upside potential in Alibaba, supported by its strong fundamentals, expanding AI initiatives, and solid recovery in e-commerce business. Meanwhile, Amazon is gaining from steady growth in cloud and advertising, two high-margin areas set to benefit from AI. While its upside may be smaller than Alibaba's, Amazon's stable growth and strong cash flow continue to earn Wall Street's confidence.
