  • S&P 500 Futures Flat After Gains Ahead of Major Tech Earnings and Fed Decision
    January 26, 2026, 6:38 PM EST. S&P 500 futures were little changed Monday evening following a positive start to earnings week. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% in regular trading, boosted by technology giants Apple, Meta, and Microsoft ahead of their earnings reports later this week. Dow futures declined 0.3%, pressured by nearly 9% drop in UnitedHealth shares after Medicare Advantage payment hikes were kept minimal by regulators. President Trump's tariff increase on South Korean goods also weighed on markets. Investors now await the Federal Reserve's rate decision, expected to hold at 3.5%-3.75%, with potential rate cut signals eyed for later in 2026. Over 90 S&P 500 companies, including major tech stocks, will report earnings this week, with about 75% of firms beating expectations so far this season.
