Stock market indexes in New York struggled to advance after rising for five consecutive sessions. 

The S&P 500 index decreased 0.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.4% as investors awaited earnings from leading tech companies this week. 

About 200 companies are scheduled to release quarterly results this week, including Apple Inc., Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms. 

Stocks of leading tech companies could face headwinds despite reporting results that may surpass market expectations amid uncertainties induced by the Trump administration's trade policy. 

The key trade partners of the U.S., including Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the European Union, are likely to target tech companies in retaliation for the Trump administration's high import taxes. 

On the economic front, investors are awaiting the release of the JOLT report on Tuesday and nonfarm payrolls on Friday, and they could provide early clues about how the labor market is adjusting to the sharp increase in import taxes.
