More than half of the Magnificent Seven companies will report earnings this week, along with major names in tech, energy, finance, and consumer sectors. Investors are also watching President Donald Trump’s 100th day in office on Wednesday, as stocks face the worst start in a century.

Apple, the world’s most valuable company, reports Thursday. The iPhone maker faces pressure from Trump’s tariff policies, with about 90% of its products made in China. After a dip on tariff news, Apple shares rebounded last week when some products were exempted. Amazon also reports Thursday after a downgrade from Raymond James due to its China exposure.
