Good evening, you're tuned in to Markets Desk.
The next forty-eight hours are a defining moment for the broader market. Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft all report after the bell today, with Apple closing things out Thursday. Together these names represent more than fifteen trillion dollars in market capitalization, and their guidance will set the tone for the entire equity complex heading into May.
Staying in the AI space, OpenAI's relationship with Microsoft has quietly shifted from partnership to something more complicated. The company has been aggressively deepening its ties with Amazon, moving workloads and infrastructure in ways that signal a real strategic pivot. For Microsoft shareholders, that drift deserves close attention, particularly ahead of tonight's earnings call.
And on the semiconductor side, Intel delivered a genuine surprise. Under CEO Lip-Bu Tan, the company posted blowout quarterly results and issued guidance that exceeded expectations by a meaningful margin. It's a significant moment for a chipmaker that has spent years fighting for relevance, and it suggests Tan's restructuring effort may be gaining real traction with investors.
That's the tape.
