Seven US Stocks Hold Key to Demand Signals Amid Rising Interest Rates

Investors are awaiting key signals from seven U.S. stocks as they assess demand in various sectors. Retailers Walmart and Target, along with Home Depot, will provide insight into consumer spending trends.

Analog Devices, a semiconductor company, is expected to release its earnings report on Wednesday, which could indicate the strength of industrial chip performance and AI power demand.

The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.69% last Friday, putting pressure on industries sensitive to interest rates, such as consumer spending and homebuilding.

A stronger guidance from retail, housing, and industrial companies would signal a wider show of market strength, while mixed guidance may keep the index close to its record highs.
