The spotlight next week will be on the second quarter earnings season, which will move into top gear amid scores of high-profile companies releasing quarterly figures. Google-parent Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) will probably grab the most eyeballs, and their numbers will also represent a big test for the "Magnificent 7" following a significant amount of rotation out of that heavyweight club since the last consumer inflation report.

Some of the other companies on the docket include soft drink behemoth Coca-Cola (KO) and car manufacturers General Motors (GM) and Ford (F).

The economic calendar for the week will be relatively light, with the focus on the latest personal income and outlays update for June. That report will contain a reading on the Federal Reserve's favorite inflation gauge - the core personal consumption expenditures price index.

Other notable events include the three-day Bitcoin 2024 Conference, which will feature an appearance by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and the start of the Paris Olympics, with the opening ceremony of the iconic sporting event scheduled for Friday.
