Stocks (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) jumped last week, fueled by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's commentary on Friday that boosted investor confidence in a potential rate cut in September. This comes as markets anticipate two significant events this week: Nvidia's (NVDA) second quarter earnings and the release of July's Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) inflation data.

Meanwhile, oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) are climbing as tensions escalate in the Middle East. Yahoo Finance trending tickers include Viking Therapeutics (VKTX), Rocket Pharmaceuticals (RCKT), and XPeng Inc. (XPEV).
