Mar 1, 2026
The first two months of the year are already in the books. The S&P 500 closed at 6,878.88 on Friday, logging a weekly loss of about 0.5%, while the benchmark index is hanging on to a roughly 0.5% gain for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed about 1% on Friday and finished February up 1.9% for the year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.9% on Friday and has lost roughly 2.5% so far in 2026.
Earnings and Geopolitics Shape Sentiment
A blowout earnings report from Nvidia on Wednesday did not settle fears about continued AI disruptions, and another round of private credit-related selling showed pressure remains high in the financial sector. Geopolitical uncertainty also remains a focus for investors, with tensions between the US and Iran still simmering. Recent talks ended with no deal, and the US embassy in Jerusalem authorized nonessential personnel and family members to leave the country amid a broader US military buildup in the region.
Upcoming Economic and Corporate Events
Headlining the economic data calendar in the week ahead will be Friday’s February jobs report. Wall Street economists expect the US economy created 60,000 new jobs last month, a slowdown from the 130,000 jobs created in January. That January report handily beat forecasts and largely forestalled fears of an imminent slowdown in the US economy.
Investors will also get readings on the manufacturing industry, plus more labor data from ADP and the weekly initial jobless claims figures.
In the corporate world, investor attention will be split between the AI trade and the state of US consumer spending. On Wednesday, Broadcom will provide another reading on AI demand, following Nvidia’s earnings report. That report will be followed by Marvell Technology on Thursday.
In the retail sector, reports from Target and Costco will anchor a week full of readouts from big box retailers and grocers.
Nvidia once again exceeded analyst estimates for revenue and adjusted earnings on Wednesday. The company raised its guidance.
