Markets crest new highs as earnings season looms and Fed meeting nears
Stocks closed at fresh highs as S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted intraday and closing records and the Dow lagged; futures edged up but later hovered near flat as investors weigh Iran tensions and a looming Fed decision. Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Apple are due this week, with UPS, GM, Coca‑Cola, Hilton, JetBlue and Corning reporting before Tuesday’s bell. After-hours movers included LendingClub, Nucor and Bed Bath & Beyond on earnings; April consumer confidence data due.
