US jobs report and Big Tech earnings to shape market sentiment this week

This week, US markets focus on April's jobs report, expected to show slower hiring and steady unemployment near 4.3%, influencing Federal Reserve rate expectations. Key data includes the JOLTS job openings, ADP private payrolls, and weekly jobless claims. Big Tech earnings from Palantir, AMD, and Arm will also draw attention amid ongoing geopolitical risks affecting energy markets. Market direction hinges on whether employment data confirms strength or signals a slowdown, impacting Fed policy and tech sector investment flows.
