4. Enter earnings

Investors who missed earnings season will have to wait only a few more days for second-quarter results to take off in earnest. Bank titans JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup will give clues about the health of an industry still grappling with the causes and effects of three regional bank failures this year.   Pepsico earnings will offer a view into how consumers and companies are handling elevated inflation around the world. Delta’s results will give indications of whether travelers are still shelling out for flights at high prices.
