💡 The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slipped into negative territory as investors exercised caution ahead of Micron's highly anticipated earnings report.

The US stock market attempted a rebound on Monday, but the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slipped into negative territory as investors exercised caution ahead of Micron's highly anticipated earnings report.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.2% to 32,644.64, while the S&P 500 gained 0.1% to 4,065.29. However, the Nasdaq Composite fell by 0.5% to 13,855.18, weighed down by losses in megacap technology stocks.

Tech Sector Under Pressure

The tech sector has been under pressure in recent weeks, with many major players in the space facing slowing revenue growth and declining profit margins. Micron, in particular, has been struggling to maintain its market share in the memory chip market, where prices have been falling due to oversupply.

Earnings Season Looms Large

As investors await Micron's earnings report, which is expected to be released on Wednesday after the market close, many are bracing for disappointment. The company's revenue guidance has been cut multiple times in recent quarters, and analysts are expecting a decline in earnings per share.

Market Sentiment Remains Cautious

Despite the attempted rebound in the broader market, sentiment remains cautious ahead of Micron's earnings report. If the company's results fall short of expectations, it could send shockwaves through the tech sector and beyond.
