The Nasdaq 100 surged to fresh record highs on Tuesday, breaking above the 23,000 mark as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other chipmakers powered a sharp rally. Investors cheered the news that Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) would resume certain chip sales to China, even as they parsed quarterly results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46420414/bank-earnings-performance-q2-citigroup-jpmorgan-blackrock-wells-fargo">from major U.S. banks.</a>
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) climbed 1.6% to a new all-time high, extending its rally to 67% since the April lows.
Meanwhile, the White House confirmed that trade negotiations are ongoing with the EU, Japan, and South Korea, following the imposition of steep tariffs on imports from all three regions—measures that could trigger price surges starting in August.
On the macro front, U.S. inflation accelerated for a second straight month. The headline consumer price index rose 2.7% year-over-year in June, the highest since February and in line with expectations. However, core inflation, which strips out food and energy, came in slightly below forecasts at 2.9%, versus 3.0% expected.
The softer core reading reinforced market expectations for monetary easing, with futures now pricing in two rate cuts from the Federal Reserve by year-end.
Elsewhere in markets, the U.S. dollar index rose 0.44%, on track for a fourth consecutive daily gain. Gold dipped 0.7% to $3,325 per ounce, while silver slid 1.2%. 
In crypto, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 2.8%, on pace for its worst daily loss since late May.

Tech Stocks Hit New Highs As AI Momentum Builds: What's Moving Markets Tuesday?

The second-quarter earnings season for banks kicked off with blowout numbers from the biggest names on Wall Street, but investors weren't in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the mood to celebrate.</a>
Despite a string of upside surprises in profit and trading performance, investors focused sharply on guidance and margin pressure, sending several top bank stocks lower.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), which tracks major U.S. banks, slid 1.1% by 10:15 a.m. in New York.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan: Strong Results, But Higher Costs Hit Sentiment 

</h2>
JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) kicked off earnings season with second-quarter earnings per share of $5.24, blowing past the $4.47 consensus estimate by 17%. 
Revenues also came in strong at $45.68 billion, versus the expected $44.05 billion.
The standout driver: investment banking and trading, where equities and FICC (fixed income, currencies and commodities) revenues beat forecasts by $50 million and $470 million, respectively.
Despite a modest miss on net interest income (NII)—$23.31 billion vs. $23.59 billion expected—the bank lifted its full-year NII forecast to $95.5 billion from $94.5 billion. 
Return on equity jumped to 18%, well above the 15.1% estimate, and loan growth surged past expectations with $1.41 trillion in total loans.
"JPM delivered on strong fees and raised guidance, even as core NII came in light," Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden said in a client note, adding that the bank's 20.6% return on tangible equity was 360 basis points above its long-term guidance.
Yet, shares slipped 1.1% as investors zeroed in on higher expense projections and softening net interest margins.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Citigroup: Clean Beat Drives Record High</h2>
Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) posted one of its strongest quarters in years, with EPS of $1.96 versus the $1.60 consensus. Revenue rose to $21.67 billion, topping estimates thanks to a robust trading environment. FICC revenue hit $4.27 billion, nearly 9% above expectations, while equities trading delivered $1.61 billion.
Trading was a bright spot: FICC sales and trading revenue came in at $4.27 billion, beating expectations by nearly 9%, while equities revenue rose to $1.61 billion. Net interest income also surprised on the upside at $15.18 billion, compared to the $14.05 billion forecast.
Citi now expects full-year adjusted revenue to be near $84 billion, reaffirming the upper end of its previous guidance. The strong report supports recent bullish analyst calls highlighting Citigroup as a top money center bank pick for the remainder of the year.
The market responded positively, with Citigroup shares rising 1% to set a new record high.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wells Fargo: Guidance Cut Overshadows Earnings Beat</h2>
Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) also beat expectations with second-quarter EPS of $1.60 versus the $1.41 estimate. Revenues landed at $20.82 billion, essentially in line. 
Yet, management trimmed its 2025 net interest income guidance to $47.7 billion, now expected to be flat year over year, citing lower market-related income. That modest disappointment was softened by solid fee income growth and stronger-than-expected loan performance.
"Wells delivered a mixed bag," Ramsden said, noting that while core EPS was slightly below Goldman estimates, loan growth and capital markets fees were encouraging.
Wells Fargo stock declined 4.7% on the news, making it the worst-performing large-cap bank on Tuesday.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BlackRock: Record AUM Fails To Impress Investors</h2>
BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) posted adjusted EPS of $12.05, easily beating the $10.87 estimate. While net inflows came in light at $67.74 billion—well below the $84.72 billion forecast—the firm's assets under management rose to $12.53 trillion, driven by strong equity flows and favorable market performance. 
Base fee revenue hit $4.45 billion, marginally above estimates, and the asset manager enters the second half of 2025 with a stronger fee base thanks to the closing of its HPS acquisition.
Despite the record AUM, BlackRock shares plunged 6.5%, as softer flows and rising expenses overshadowed the earnings beat.

Big Banks Smash Earnings Expectations But Rally Fails To Produce New Fuel

WIIM

BlackRock shares are trading lower following Q2 reported financial results.

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ai-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artificial intelligence (AI) chip stocks</a>, including industry giants like Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), alongside key players such as Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), saw a significant surge in their stock prices on Tuesday.
This market uptick was primarily driven by two major developments: reports indicating the Trump administration&#8217;s plans to announce substantial AI and energy investments in Pennsylvania, and the U.S. government&#8217;s decision to lift certain chip export restrictions to China.
President Donald Trump is set to unveil a major initiative on Tuesday near Pittsburgh, detailing plans for approximately $70 billion in new investments in artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure.

Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-14/trump-to-unveil-70-billion-in-ai-and-energy-investments?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Monday that this comprehensive plan encompasses the development of new AI data centers, the expansion of power generation capabilities, critical upgrades to grid infrastructure, and the introduction of new training programs and apprenticeships.
This announcement represents a pivotal move in Trump&#8217;s broader strategy to bolster America&#8217;s leadership in AI by actively encouraging private investment, streamlining regulatory processes, and expediting permits for both technology and energy projects.
The event, hosted by Senator David McCormick at Carnegie Mellon University, is expected to draw a distinguished gathering of around 60 top executives from various sectors, including leaders from BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Anthropic, ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>).
Further underscoring the magnitude of these investments, Blackstone President Jon Gray is anticipated to announce a $25 billion initiative specifically targeting data center and energy infrastructure expansion.
This project is projected to generate thousands of construction and permanent jobs, contributing significantly to the economy. This follows earlier announcements made under Trump&#8217;s second term, notably a staggering $100 billion AI investment pledge from a consortium including SoftBank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), OpenAI, and Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>).
These strategic moves, alongside the recent rollback of Biden-era AI chip restrictions, are explicitly aimed at counteracting China&#8217;s aggressive advancements in AI and maintaining the United States&#8217; technological superiority on the global stage.
Adding to the positive momentum for Nvidia and other chip stocks was the U.S. government&#8217;s recent decision to ease chip <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46409079/nvidia-growth-estimates-get-10-boost-as-us-lifts-china-chip-export-curbs-gene-munster-predicts-30-35-growth-for-2026" rel="noreferrer noopener">export restrictions to China</a>. This move is particularly impactful for companies like Nvidia, which had faced significant revenue setbacks due to previous bans.
Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, expressed optimism, stating that Wall Street analysts are likely to raise Nvidia&#8217;s growth estimates by approximately 10% following this development.
While acknowledging that some analysts might have already factored in the return of Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips to the Chinese market, Munster still anticipates a boost to overall forecasts, emphasizing that, &#8220;Either way you look at it, great news for $NVDA.&#8221;
This is especially relevant given that Nvidia had previously incurred a substantial $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter of this year, directly attributable to the export ban on its H20 products to China, which was enforced on April 9.
NVDA Price Action: NVDA stock is trading higher by 4.69% to $171.75 premarket at last check Tuesday.

Trump's Latest Move On AI And China Propels Chip Stocks

Investment manager giant BlackRock, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) reported&nbsp;that second-quarter 2025 revenue grew&nbsp;13%&nbsp;year-over-year to&nbsp;$5.42 billion, beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of&nbsp;$5.34 billion</a>.&nbsp;
Investment advisory, administration fees, and securities lending revenue increased to&nbsp;$4.45 billion from&nbsp;$3.88 billion a year ago, primarily driven by organic base fee growth, the impact of market beta and foreign exchange movements on average AUM, and approximately $240 million of fees related to the GIP Transaction.
Securities lending revenue of $171 million <a target="_blank" href="https://ir.blackrock.com/files/doc_financials/2025/Q2/BLK-2Q25-Earnings-Release.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">increased</a> from $154 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting higher average balances of securities on loan.

Performance fees decreased $70 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower revenue from private markets, liquid alternative, and long-only products.
BlackRock stated that $68 billion of quarterly total net inflows, down from $81.6 billion a year ago, reflect the impact of a single institutional client&#8217;s $52 billion lower-fee index partial redemption.
Net inflows reached $152 billion year to date, led by a record first half for iShares ETFs, alongside private markets and cash net inflows.
At the end of the quarter, total AUM was $12.53 trillion, compared to&nbsp;$10.65 trillion&nbsp;in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted operating income rose&nbsp;12% to&nbsp;$2.09 billion. Adjusted EPS increased&nbsp;16% to&nbsp;$12.05,&nbsp;beating the consensus of&nbsp;$10.80.
Laurence Fink, Chairman and CEO, commented, &#8220;Our expanding client relationships are resonating in higher, more diversified organic base fee growth. We generated 6% organic base fee growth for the second quarter and the first half of 2025, and 7% over the last twelve months.&#8221;
&#8220;iShares ETFs had a record first half in flows, and technology ACV growth reached a fresh high of 16%. This core strength, alongside client demand for private markets, digital assets, Aperio, and our tech and data-driven systematic strategies, propelled another consecutive quarter of above-target organic base fee growth and record AUM of $12.5 trillion,&#8221; Fink added.
Price Action: BLK stock is trading lower by 1.12% to $1,099 during the premarket session at last check Tuesday.

Earnings Scheduled For July 15, 2025

U.S. equities traded sideways on Monday as investor sentiment wavered following President Donald Trump's weekend announcement of a sweeping 30% tariff on all imports from the European Union and Mexico, set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">take effect August 1.</a>
Investor sentiment was further clouded by inflation concerns ahead of Tuesday's consumer price index release. Economists anticipate an annual rise from 2.4% to 2.7%, suggesting that companies may be starting to pass on higher import costs to consumers.
The second-quarter earnings season for major U.S. banks kicks off Tuesday, with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) all slated to report results before the bell.
Among sectors, energy stocks lagged as oil prices dropped 1.5% to below $67.60 per barrel. The decline came after Trump stopped short of imposing new sanctions on Russian oil, disappointing markets that had anticipated a tougher stance. While Trump did threaten 100% secondary tariffs on Russian energy exports if a ceasefire isn&#8217;t reached within 50 days, the lack of immediate measures weighed on crude.
In contrast, U.S. natural gas prices rose by more than 3%, with futures surpassing $3.40 for the first time in over a week, as rising LNG exports and forecasts for hotter-than-average weather through late July sustained demand.
The U.S. dollar index strengthened for a third straight session, up 1.4% since the start of July, and potentially snapping a five-month losing streak.
Bond markets saw continued volatility, with the 30-year Treasury yield surging to 4.98% — its highest since early June.
In precious metals, gold slipped 0.3% while silver also edged down 0.3% after hitting a fresh 14-year high last week.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 0.7% on the day but trimmed earlier gains, pulling back from its record high of $123,278.

Wall Street Pauses As Tariff Concerns Rise, Dollar Eyes Third Straight Gain: What's Moving Markets Monday?

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) headlining a crucial reporting day for financials, as Wall Street eyes a rebound in quarterly profits fueled by stronger net interest income and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">healthy capital markets activity.</a>
Here's what to expect as the second-quarter 2025 numbers roll in before the bell.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank Profits Growth Expected </h3>
Wall Street expects a strong quarter for major banks, with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. forecast to deliver earnings per share (EPS) of $4.48 in the second quarter, a modest 1.8% increase from $4.40 a year ago. Revenue is projected at $44.17 billion, reflecting a pullback from last year's $50.2 billion.
Citigroup is expected to post more robust growth, with EPS projected to rise 6.6% year over year to $1.62 from $1.52. Revenue is also expected to improve slightly to $20.89 billion, up 3.9% from last year's Q2.
Wells Fargo is forecast to earn $1.40 per share, a 5.3% increase over the prior-year quarter. Revenue is expected to remain flat at $20.78 billion, indicating stable core banking performance despite macroeconomic headwinds.
BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), although not a traditional bank, is poised for a solid performance in asset management, with EPS expected to reach $10.80, representing a 4.2% increase over last year. Revenues are projected to be $5.34 billion, representing an 11% increase.
Other names in focus include Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banks To Step Up Shareholder Returns</h2>
The positive earnings outlook follows banks passing the Federal Reserve's June stress tests with ease, prompting widespread dividend hikes.
The median dividend per share across major banks rose 7%, with standouts like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) lifting its quarterly payout 33% to $4.00.
JPMorgan raised its dividend by 7% to $1.50 and authorized a massive $50 billion stock buyback program.
Citigroup boosted its dividend by 7% and continues its $20 billion multi-year repurchase plan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Views: Where's The Opportunity?</h2>
Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden said Wells Fargo and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) offer the best earnings upside for investors heading into 2026.
He sees Bank of America's net interest income (NII) growing 7% annually through 2026, outperforming large bank peers, driven by stronger loan growth, favorable asset sensitivity and lower deposit costs. "We view BAC&#8217;s current ~1.5x 2026E price-to-tangible book value as attractive," Ramsden said.
For Wells Fargo, the recent removal of its asset cap opens the door to deposit growth, capital markets expansion and cost savings. Ramsden believes these factors could boost earnings by as much as 19% and push return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) to as high as 17.3%.
Bank of America analyst Ebrahim Poonawala echoed bullish sentiment, saying the sector could see &#8220;positive EPS revisions and further stock re-rating&#8221; if capital expenditures and client activity pick up.
He flagged Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs as offering the best risk-reward among money center banks.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's At Stake For Investors?</h2>
With the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) up more than 8% year-to-date, bank stocks have already benefited from a more stable rate environment and strong capital positions.
However, any surprises in loan demand, expense growth, or trading revenue could quickly swing sentiment.
Tuesday&#8217;s results will set the tone for the rest of earnings season and could determine whether banks still have room to run, or whether Wall Street has already priced in the rebound.

Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>), the issuer behind USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>), has been a standout in the stock market this year, and the latest endorsement from Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) suggests that the company&#8217;s upward trajectory is far from over.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/crcl">CRCL stock here</a>.
What Happened: Citi has initiated coverage of Circle stock with a Buy rating and a price target of $243, representing a potential 30% increase from its current value, reported The Street <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/technology/wall-street-pro-drops-bold-price-target-on-circle-stock">on</a> Sunday.
The analysts at Citi are optimistic about the future of stablecoins and see Circle as a leading force in this space.
According to Citi, Circle&#8217;s strong position in the growing stablecoin sector and its&nbsp;potential to become the primary&nbsp;platform for programmable payments are key factors driving this recommendation.
The analysts also highlighted the potential impact of the GENIUS Act on Circle&#8217;s value proposition, as well as the significant institutional interest in USDC, with&nbsp;BlackRock&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) now holding approximately 10% of Circle.
The global stablecoin market has surpassed&nbsp;$250 billion in circulation, with&nbsp;monthly trading volumes reaching $700 billion.
As per the report, if Circle can scale&nbsp;its fee revenue from transactions&nbsp;and increase its&nbsp;yield income on reserves, analysts&nbsp;expect double-digit compound annual sales&nbsp;growth in the foreseeable future.

Why It Matters: Circle&#8217;s recent moves have been indicative of its ambition to expand its reach and solidify its position in the market. The company last week&nbsp;struck a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46330813/circles-expands-beyond-coinbase-binance-partnerships-strikes-deal-with-bybit">revenue-sharing agreement</a> with Bybit, the world&#8217;s second-largest crypto exchange, to increase the reach of its USDC token.
Circle has also reportedly been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46339302/circle-reportedly-integrating-usdc-with-jack-mas-ant-group">planning to integrate</a> USDC with Ant Group, a Chinese fintech giant backed by Jack Ma.
 Circle&#8217;s IPO has also been likened to a pivotal moment in the crypto industry, with&nbsp;Cathie Wood of ARK Invest&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46312768/cathie-wood-agrees-circle-ipo-is-cryptos-chatgpt-moment-warns-institutions-that-ignoring-the-ai-crypto-combo-just-isnt-an-option">drawing parallels between</a> the Circle IPO and the &#8216;ChatGPT moment&#8217; in the crypto industry, suggesting that institutional investors can no longer ignore the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Circle&#8217;s stock is trading at $187.10, down 0.12% during the pre-market hours.

Citi Sees 30% Upside In Circle Stock, Backs USDC Issuer As Key Player In Stablecoin Market

In the face of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff threats, investors have propelled stocks to new heights this past week. However, the forthcoming earnings season could bring the trade war back into the spotlight.
What Happened: Robust corporate profits have enabled the S&amp;P 500 to bounce back from the turbulence of April, resulting in a 6.4% surge this year. 
The index has achieved new records, despite the White House&#8217;s tariff threats on goods from multiple trade partners, including Brazil and Canada.
As per a report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/earnings-stock-market-records-trade-bfd8f8c3?mod=hp_lead_pos1">by </a>The Wall Street Journal, investors are now seeking clarity from corporate leaders on how the trade disputes have affected their operations. 
There are fears that the trade war could damage economic growth and corporate profits, particularly when stocks already seem overpriced compared to historical standards.
In the upcoming week, investors will closely examine results from banks such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), as well as BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), the world&#8217;s largest asset manager.

Analysts are forecasting a 4.8% increase in S&amp;P 500 companies&#8217; profits for the second quarter, which would be the lowest year-over-year growth since 2023.
Analysts will also scrutinize&nbsp;earnings and executive commentary for&nbsp;insights into&nbsp;the health of U.S. consumers&nbsp;and their capacity to withstand tariff-related price hikes. Some U.S. companies have retracted or reduced their outlook for the remainder of the year due to the uncertainty created by the tariff situation.
Why It Matters: The ongoing trade disputes and tariff threats have been a significant concern for investors and businesses alike. The upcoming earnings season will provide critical insights into the impact of these trade tensions on corporate profits and the broader economy. 
The results and commentary from leading companies will also shed light on the resilience of U.S. consumers in the face of tariff-related price increases. 
The performance of these companies could potentially set the tone for the market in the coming months.
