Tesla shares shot up nearly 14.5%, driving a 1.6% rise in the consumer discretionary sector, after the electric vehicle maker cleared some key regulatory hurdles that had long hindered the roll-out of its self-driving software in China, its second-largest market.

Apple (AAPL) is set to release its fiscal second quarter results on Thursday, May 2, after the market close. A big area of focus will be the company's iPhone sales in China, which fell 19% in the first quarter, according to analysis from Counterpoint Research. China Beige Book CEO Leland Miller thinks there is a secular move away from Apple in China, given there is pressure on both supply and demand. "The government [of China] doesn't want many of its employees using Apple...you have a movement away from foreign phones. You got these great advanced options domestically," Miller says when talking about demand. When it comes to supply, Miller argues Apple has been getting "enormous push" to reduce its reliance on Chinese supply chains.

Apple’s largest business is struggling, while the company is also losing ground in China and seems to have completely missed Big Tech’s AI party. Apple’s share price jumped more than 3% Monday morning after Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi upgraded the stock to a buy rating. Worries about the latest iPhone cycle, China, regulatory pressure in the U.S. and Europe and the company’s unclear plans for its own AI play have all combined to push Apple’s multiple to around 25 times forward earnings—in line with its five-year average, according to FactSet data.

As the Federal Reserve prepares to decide on rate cuts on Wednesday, markets are trading higher Monday. PGIM Fixed Income Co-Chief Investment Officer Gregory Peters joins The Morning Brief to provide insights into the rate cut outlook. Peters suggests that the Fed meeting on Wednesday may not be "all that interesting," as Chairman Jerome Powell may need to "walk back being more dovish" in light of the hot inflation data failing to align with the Fed's target. This scenario could compel the central bank to hold rates steady and refrain from implementing rate cuts. While Peters acknowledges the potential for a rate hike, he notes that "it's not the base case." The "root cause" of the Fed's rate-cut apprehension is "a positive story," Peters says. He points to the robust state of the economy, coupled with slightly higher inflation, as a backdrop that is "favorable for broad earnings."

Monday marks the start of a busy week for Wall Street, with a slew of data releases set to shape market dynamics. Big Tech earnings, the highly anticipated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, and the closely watched jobs report are all scheduled to unfold. Wells Fargo Senior Global Market Strategist Scott Wren joins The Morning Brief to provide insights into how these developments might impact markets and the Federal Reserve's rate cut outlook. With the FOMC meeting and decision announcement slated for Wednesday, Wren believes "we're not going to see any surprises," predicting that the higher-for-longer interest rate environment will likely persist. He believes that two rate cuts could materialize in 2024, starting in September. The next most likely scenario is "fewer cuts, not more," Wren says. As the Big Tech earnings season continues to unfold this week, Wren believes the tech and communications services sectors are "overvalued." However, he acknowledges that with industry heavyweights like Microsoft (MSFT) driving market rallies post-earnings, "clearly the market is going to hang on results" for a few days.
