Tech Earnings in Spotlight Amid Rising Oil Prices

Investors are bracing for a busy week of tech earnings as major players like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple report their quarterly results. The anticipation comes amidst concerns that high oil prices may prompt the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates.

Last week's disappointing results from Tesla and Alphabet, which saw significant AI expenditure, have added to investor caution. While these companies displayed optimism about AI-driven growth, some investors are questioning whether this rally is waning.

The energy sector has also been influenced by geopolitical developments, with crude prices dipping to a one-week low following signals of U.S.-Iran peace talks. However, concerns remain due to recent Middle Eastern tensions.
