U.S. stocks are looking to build on past week&#8217;s gains, with the mood remaining cautiously optimistic. The major index futures were modestly higher in early trading. 
Given the strong gains in the past week, it wouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise if traders choose to take some profits, especially with the Fed meeting looming. Analysts hope the upward momentum gains strength if the central bank chooses to deliver a dovish message. In the absence of any major Main Street cues, the focus is likely to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38481553/will-earnings-cheer-continue-to-buoy-markets-apple-amazon-pfizer-coinbase-lead-flurry-of-q1-reports"> rest solely on earnings. </a>

Cues From Past Week&#8217;s Trading:
U.S. stocks rebounded strongly in the week ended April 26, thanks to the optimism generated by strong corporate profit growth. The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 Index entered the week with six straight sessions of losses and bargain hunting lifted the major averages early in the week. Although the indices suffered inflation jitters in the middle of the week, the earnings catalyst helped a strong comeback in the final session.
The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 Index snapped four-week and three-week losing streaks, respectively, and finished at their best closing levels since April 12.

Insights From Analysts:
The market could be entering a seasonally strong period of election years, according to Carson Group&#8217;s Ryan Detrick. &#8220;Historically, June, July, and August tend to be strong months in an election year,&#8221; he said.

&mdash; Ryan Detrick, CMT (@RyanDetrick) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanDetrick/status/1784767703032483881?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 29, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
April may have been a blip on the radar. With two more sessions to go, there is a possibility that the major indices can inflect higher.
Tom Lee of FundStrat recommended buying the dip, predicating it on the Fed maintaining a dovish bias at the May monetary policy meeting. &#8220;Buy the dip regime in effect as long as #Fed is not a #hawk,&#8221; he said.
Upcoming Economic Data:
The week&#8217;s economic calendar will be headlined by the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s rate decision due on Wednesday. A pause verdict has been factored in by the market, but traders will closely watch the language used in the post-meeting policy statement and Chairman Jerome Powell&#8217;s press conference.
A slew of labor market data are also due for the week, including the all-important non-farm payrolls report, ADP&#8217;s private payroll report, first-quarter productivity and costs data, the results of the Labor Department&#8217;s job opening and labor turnover survey and the weekly jobless claims data. 
The other key data includes the Conference Board&#8217;s consumer confidence reading, the Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index, a regional manufacturing activity reading and the results of two house price surveys. After the Fed&#8217;s blackout period expires, traders will also get to hear from some Fed officials.
On Monday, the Dallas Fed manufacturing index is due to be released at 10:30 a.m. EDT.
The Treasury will auction three- and six-month bills at 11:30 a.m. EDT.

Domino's Pizza shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings, with same-store sales growing 5.6% in the US and 0.9% internationally.

A former employee&#8217;s lawsuit against oil giant&nbsp;Shell&nbsp;PLC&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) has reportedly peeled back the curtain on the financial intricacies of its expansive oil and gas trading enterprise.
The lawsuit documents unveiled in a Texas state court shed light on the company&#8217;s&nbsp;closely-guarded&nbsp;secrets, particularly regarding its U.S. crude trading operations.
Testimony by John Dimech, a former head of Shell&#8217;s U.S. crude trading division, offered a rare glimpse into the substantial profits reaped by the trading arm, along with&nbsp;the lavish bonuses bestowed upon traders, reported Reuters.
Dimech,&nbsp;who served as&nbsp;a manager in Shell&#8217;s crude oil trading group in Houston for over a decade, disclosed in his deposition that the crude trading unit consistently rakes in annual profits ranging from $950 million to $1 billion.

As per the report, these figures account for&nbsp;a significant portion&nbsp;between 13% and 15% of Shell&#8217;s overall U.S. pre-tax profits in recent years.
Despite the substantial financial contributions from its trading activities, Shell has historically kept a tight lid on the performance metrics of its oil and gas trading desk, which&nbsp;is touted&nbsp;as the world&#8217;s largest.
The lack of transparency surrounding this segment has raised concerns among some investors, given its potential to yield substantial profits&nbsp;but also to&nbsp;incur volatility and losses.
Traders within Shell&#8217;s operations capitalize on market fluctuations in oil and gas prices worldwide to secure profits through strategic buying and selling.
Their compensation packages often include hefty bonuses tied to performance metrics, which can surpass even the annual bonuses awarded to top executives.
For instance, CEO Wael Sawan&#8217;s annual bonus amounted to £2.7 million ($3.4 million) last year,&nbsp;as&nbsp;per the company&#8217;s latest annual report.
In a recent legal dispute, former trading manager Eva-Maria Frohn sought $15 million in damages, alleging breach of contract by Shell, including a $6 million claim for her 2021 bonus, the report&nbsp;further&nbsp;added.
