Investors will be closely watching earnings season to get a better sense of how companies are weathering the challenges facing the economy. If companies report strong earnings, it could help to ease some of the concerns about a slowdown in economic growth. However, if companies report weak earnings, it could lead to further selling in the stock market.

In addition to earnings season, investors will also be watching for any signs of a slowdown in economic growth. If the economy starts to slow down, it could lead to lower corporate earnings and further selling in the stock market.
