On the earnings front, we have another big one for US shares, as major companies like Hasbro, Cisco, Twitter, Coca-Cola, Uber, General Motors, and Walt Disney all report their most recent quarterly results. Out of the UK, there could be a lot of interest in the results released by AstraZeneca as they continue to be a leader in vaccine production and supply.
Analysts will have taken the potential revenue from the coronavirus vaccine into account when forecasting the results.
Earnings can move share prices aggressively, so remember to take note of whether they’re due before or after market open and monitor those out-of-hours movements closely if investing.
