SK hynix, Visa, Coca-Cola, HSBC, Boeing and Robinhood headline Tuesday’s earnings calendar, with investors watching semiconductor demand, consumer spending, banking performance, aerospace recovery and retail trading activity.
Tuesday’s earnings will offer a broad look at the health of several important market sectors. SK hynix could influence semiconductor sentiment, while Visa and Coca-Cola will provide clues about consumer activity. HSBC will shed light on banking conditions, Boeing faces continued pressure to demonstrate operational progress, and Robinhood will test expectations for sustained trading growth.
The main risk is that strong headline earnings may not be enough if companies deliver weaker guidance, deteriorating margins or disappointing cash flow. Investors are likely to focus as much on forward expectations as on whether results beat consensus forecasts.
Earnings Calendar Highlights — Tuesday
– SK hynix (SKHY) — Q3 2026, before market open (TNS): Expected EPS of 6.25. Investors will focus on memory-chip demand, pricing trends and the sustainability of spending on data centers and high-performance computing. Results could influence sentiment across the semiconductor sector, particularly as investors scrutinize whether elevated infrastructure investment can generate sufficient returns.
– Visa (V) — Q4 2026, after market close (AMC): Expected EPS of $3.44. The payments giant’s results will provide insight into consumer spending, cross-border transactions and payment volumes. Investors will also examine transaction growth and operating margins for signs that economic uncertainty or pressure on household budgets is affecting spending.
– The Coca-Cola Company (KO) — Q3 2026, before market open (BMO): Expected EPS of $0.88. Attention will center on organic revenue growth, pricing power and sales volumes. Coca-Cola has benefited from its global distribution network and established brands, but investors will assess whether price increases continue to support revenue without weakening demand.
– HSBC Holdings (HSBC) — Q3 2026, before market open (BMO): Expected EPS of $2.25. Investors will watch net interest income, loan growth, credit quality and wealth-management performance. Interest-rate expectations and developments across its major markets could influence the bank’s outlook, while provisions for potential credit losses remain an important measure of risk.
– The Boeing Company (BA) — Q3 2026, before market open (BMO): Expected EPS of -$0.20. Boeing remains under scrutiny over production, aircraft deliveries, cash flow and its progress in addressing operational and quality challenges. Investors will look for evidence of improving execution and greater financial stability, although further delays or elevated costs could undermine confidence in the recovery.
– Robinhood Markets (HOOD) — Q3 2026, after market close (AMC): Expected EPS of $0.55. Trading activity, cryptocurrency-related revenue, options volumes and net deposits will be key indicators. Investors will assess whether strong retail participation can be sustained and whether revenue growth is becoming too dependent on volatile market conditions.
Forex Signals Update
Gold Capped by the 20 SMA
Gold prices experienced a volatile trading week, ultimately finishing significantly lower after an initially strong rally lost momentum. The precious metal climbed above $4,300 early in the week but later reversed sharply, ending nearly $100 below its recent highs as investors reassessed the outlook for interest rates and global risk sentiment.
The decline was largely driven by a stronger U.S. dollar, rising Treasury yields, and reduced demand for defensive assets following positive geopolitical developments in the Middle East. Despite the weakness, gold remains above the critical $4,000 support zone, which continues to define the longer-term bullish trend but it is under attack.
MAs Hold as Support for USD/JPY
Foreign exchange markets saw sharp swings. Early in the week, U.S. yield differentials and Japanese capital outflows pushed the dollar above ¥150, but disappointing U.S. jobs data triggered profit-taking, causing the USD/JPY to slide by four yen from its peak. However, the new BOJ governor the JPY has weakened and USD/JPY soared to 154 and we decided to close our buy signal for more than 80 pips as the pair found support at the 20 daily SMA (gray) and has rebounded more than 200 pips off that MA but reversed after the 25 bps rate cut from the FED. The price climbed to $164 but reversed after the BOJ meeting and fell 7 cents, breaking below the 100 daily SMA (red) as well, which has been acting as support before.

Cryptocurrency Update
Bitcoin Faces the 100 SMA as Resistance
Cryptocurrencies remained highly active over the summer. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to fresh highs of $123,000 and $124,000 in July and August, supported by institutional inflows and technical strength. However, remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ruling out U.S. increases to BTC reserves triggered a steep pullback, sending the coin down to $80K before finding support at the 100 weekly SMA (green) which might turn into resistance at 90K now, after the rebound.

Ethereum Returns Above $2,000
Ethereum (ETH) has been similarly strong, surging toward $4,800, its highest since 2021 and near its all-time peak of $4,860. Despite a dip last week, ETH found support at the 20-day SMA, with retail enthusiasm and renewed institutional participation driving fresh upside momentum. Last week we saw a dive below $2,000 but buyers returned and pushed the price above $2K again.
