Stocks to Watch:
- Carnival Corporation: Reports earnings pre-market today, with options traders anticipating a significant stock move of +/- 7.68%.
- Accenture: Plunged recently after lowering its fiscal year revenue growth guidance, signaling weaker client spending.
- Northrop Grumman: Fell last week as a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal triggered a selloff in defense sector equities.
- Marvell Technology: Was added to the S&P 500 today, highlighting its crucial role in the AI and data center semiconductor market.
Looking ahead, investors will be closely monitoring this week’s inflation and consumer spending reports for clues on the Federal Reserve's future interest rate path.
