With the fourth July holiday weekend approaching, it looks like the market will stumble to it low during the next month.

With several weeks to go until second-quarter reporting commences, 130 S&P 500 companies have pre-announced. Of those, 45 have been positive and 77 have been negative, resulting in a negative/positive ratio of 1.7 stronger than the first quarter but weaker than a year ago, according to Refinitiv data.
Nike Inc (NYSE: NKE) slid 7.0% following its lower-than-expected revenue forecast.

Shares of Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE: OXY) advanced 4.8% after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKa) Inc raised its stake in the company.
