TOP STORY

The Magnificent Seven have been the backbone of Wall Street’s rally this year, but their next earnings catalyst is likely to come from an unexpected place.

This overlooked and unexpected catalyst has nothing to do with chips, data centers or flashy new products: it’s the U.S. dollar.

With the dollar sliding to its lowest level in decades, tech giants such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla stand to benefit more than the broader market, with the Magnificent Seven earning 49% of their revenue outside the U.S.

Overseas revenue means even a modest drop in the dollar’s value can significantly lift their earnings. Read on to see how much of an earnings boost these companies stand to gain from the dollar’s slide over the past few months.

Yesterday: U.S. indexes were mixed on Monday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing modestly higher while the Dow slipped, as investors looked ahead to key corporate earnings reports. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq touched fresh record highs during the session before easing into the close. Treasury yields declined, with the 10-year falling to 4.38% following June inflation data, reinforcing the outlook for potential Fed rate cuts by year-end. Early earnings results have been strong, with most companies beating estimates so far, led by strong showings from banks. Tariff uncertainty continues ahead of the August 1 deadline, though inflation and consumer activity remain largely unaffected.

On Our Radar: Analysts will be listening carefully to remarks from several Federal Reserve officials — including Jerome Powell — for insights on the economy and any potential rate cuts in the near term. On the earnings front, Texas Instruments (TXN), SAP SE (SAP) and Capital One (COF) will headline a slate of major earnings reports after market close today.

MARKET HISTORY

On This Day In 1969…

The New York Stock Exchange closed in celebration of the Apollo 11 moon landing. However, markets fell when they reopened the next day, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping nearly 2% — a reminder that even giant leaps for mankind don’t always boost investor confidence. It was a classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” event. Beneath the patriotic euphoria were deeper market anxieties about rising inflation, war costs and recession concerns.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
