US-China talks, major earnings, and AI updates highlight a quiet US economic week ahead

This week, US economic data is light, shifting focus to geopolitics and corporate events. President Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss trade, tariffs, Taiwan, and AI, with potential announcements on Chinese purchases of US goods like Boeing aircraft. Key earnings reports include Costco, Darden Restaurants, Cintas, Paychex, and General Mills. Meta Platforms will hold its Connect event with AI and virtual reality updates. Other notable events include McDonald's investor day, global PMI reports, and a Treasury bond-buyback announcement. Oracle's AI spending and growth prospects are also under analyst scrutiny, with positive outlooks on its revenue growth and valuation.

As US-China trade talks and key earnings reports take center stage this week, investors on Pluang show strong interest in consumer staples and industrials. Costco trades at USD 895.31 with a slight gain of +0.15%, while Boeing is up +0.61% at USD 198.20 as of Sep 20, 2026 19:41 WIB. Oracle, amid scrutiny over its AI investments, sees a price of USD 147.60 but a decline of -1.98%, reflecting mixed sentiment in the technology sector.
