The S&P 500 has fallen for two straight weeks heading into a week that combines a Fed meeting, earnings from more than a third of its companies and Middle East tensions. MarketWatch frames the stretch as the stock market's biggest test in weeks.
The S&P 500 has fallen for two straight weeks, and the week brings several events at once. The Federal Reserve meets, more than a third of the S&P 500 reports earnings, and a bruised tech trade looks to rebound.
Middle East tensions add to the uncertainty, according to MarketWatch. The outlet says the week's market-moving events could give investors some answers about where stocks are headed.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite has shed more than 5% over that span.
Separately, the Russell 2000 snapped a six-week losing streak with a 2% gain.
