  Brent crude plunged 7.8% to $89.23 after the United States suspended its 13-night airstrike campaign against Iran and Tehran signaled it would halt retaliation under an 'attack for attack' framework as long as the US pause holds. Nasdaq-100 futures jumped 1.4%, Dow futures gained 1%, and S&P 500 futures added 0.9% in premarket trade. The relief rally arrives ahead of the most consequential week of Q2 earnings season, with Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon all reporting.

  Fed July FOMC Decision Due Wednesday — Rate Hold at 3.50%-3.75% Expected, September Hike Risk Keeps Investors on Edge

  The Federal Reserve begins its two-day July FOMC meeting Tuesday, with the rate decision set for Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET and Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference at 2:30 p.m. ET. Markets are overwhelming pricing in a hold at 3.50%-3.75%, but analysts warn that Warsh's tone on whether September becomes a live hike meeting could unsettle equities already on edge from Alphabet's AI capex scare. Core PCE data for June is due Thursday, with a monthly print above 0.2% seen as reigniting hawkish rate-hike bets.

  Gold Recovers 0.95% to $4,090 as Oil Drops 7% — Safe-Haven Demand Fades but Stays Elevated on Ceasefire Skepticism

  Gold rose 0.95% to $4,090.57 an ounce on Monday, recovering from nine-month lows as the US-Iran military pause sent oil sharply lower but left safe-haven demand intact amid market skepticism over the ceasefire's durability. Analysts describe the pause as 'tactical rather than genuine,' preventing a sharp gold selloff even as equities rallied. Gold has risen 23.4% year-over-year but remains 27% below its January all-time high of $5,595 amid elevated Fed rate-hike expectations.

  Microsoft, Meta Q2 2026 Earnings Due Wednesday — AI Capex Scrutiny Peaks After Alphabet Sinks 8% on Ballooning Spend

  Microsoft and Meta Platforms report Q2 2026 earnings Wednesday after the close, the same day as the Fed rate decision, under intense investor scrutiny after Alphabet sank roughly 8% last week on elevated AI capital expenditure and negative free cash flow that spooked the market. Meta previously guided Q2 revenue of $58 billion to $61 billion. Analysts say investors need proof that AI spending is converting into accelerating revenue, or the Mag-7 selloff begun last week will deepen through Thursday's Apple and Amazon reports.
