In the corporate sector, attention turns to Broadcom (AVGO) and CrowdStrike reporting this week, following Nvidia's (NVDA) record revenue of $81.6 billion reported on May 20, 2026 (per company data). Investors are also monitoring the retail sector after Costco reported an 11.6% sales increase to $69.15 billion in its results released on May 28, 2026 (per market data).
Looking at the economic calendar, the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report due on June 5 stands out as the primary market catalyst. Currently, Core PCE price index data showed stability at 0.2% month-over-month (as of the May 28, 2026 close), keeping inflationary pressures in focus. Traders should watch support levels for major tech stocks, with Costco testing support near $990 following its recent retreat from May highs (per market data).
