The Tesla and “Alphabet” pioneers in the field of “seven major companies” are scheduled to announce their financial results this week at a time when investors are searching for indicators on how to affect customs definitions and economic uncertainty on these companies in addition to evidence about the health of artificial intelligence trade.
