Caution Builds Ahead of Big Tech Earnings | The Opening Trade 7/22/2026 [llZCKSKjwqP]
Stocks fell ahead of Alphabet Inc.’s earnings as traders waited for the clearest read yet on whether the vast sums technology hyperscalers are pouring into artificial intelligence are paying off. A two-day rebound in the Nasdaq 100 came to a halt, with index futures dropping 0.8%. South Korea’s Kospi Index and other tech-heavy gauges in Asia trimmed strong early-session gains. The technology sector lagged sharply in Europe’s Stoxx 600. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe.
