Investors are gearing up for a packed calendar, featuring the Federal Reserve's favorite inflation metric ' the PCE Price Index ' along with the highly anticipated monthly jobs report. Plus, first-quarter GDP numbers are due, which could set the tone for the markets heading into the summer.

The so-called Magnificent Seven megacaps ' Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta Platforms among them ' are all set to drop their earnings this week.
