"Cautious optimism" is the phrase Jay Mehta uses to describe the current market environment. He has his eyes on Mag 7 earnings this week in companies like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN), along with the profitability path each will show in their reports. Jay adds that there is still strong demand for AI but comes with investors becoming more demanding on how companies will generate free cash flow. As for the Fed, he warns of inflation tensions rising should the U.S.-Iran war continue.
