Second quarter GDP beats forecasts at 3%, while ADP payroll data shows hiring remains solid but is slowing. Market focus is on Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) earnings after the bell, with AI spending and guidance under the microscope. Investors look for clues on whether Big Tech’s rally can continue and watch for signs of market risk as valuations stretch. Humana (HUM), Seagate (STX), and Palo Alto Networks (PANW) are trending.
