Monday morning was a mixed bag for stock futures as investors anticipated a slew of earnings reports from tech companies. Today, for instance, Tesla reveals its latest financial data after the bell. Shares of that company held steady this morning. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Alphabet are also slated to share their latest earnings this week.
Economists are also anticipating a 2.2% increase in durable goods orders for the month of March. That report is due out this morning. And tomorrow the Federal Reserve will begin its two-day policy meeting.
Later this week, the government will release its look at gross domestic quarter for the first quarter.
And President Joe Biden will reveal his American Families Plan in detail at some point this week, part of his larger Build Back Better campaign.
After Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine pause was lifted late last week, states began to administer the single-dose shot to patients this weekend, which could help mitigate a troubling new trend (more on that story, below).

Over the weekend, states began administering the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, after health officials lifted a recommended pause due to rare but severe blood clots. The drug’s return to the market is especially good news as a new trend takes shape: millions of people in this country are skipping out on their second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 8% of Americans who received their first shot did not return for a second. That equates to more than five million people.
Some say they worry about side effects, while others felt a single dose was enough to secure some protections. And some providers did not have enough supply to give patients the same brand for their second shot.
