3:31 PM ETApple Inc. /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/zigman/68270/lastsale AAPL reported its first year-over-year decline in iPhone sales Tuesday, a sign of an increasingly saturated smartphone market.

Alphabet Inc. googl /quotes/zigman/59539269/delayed /quotes/zigman/59539269/lastsale GOOGL is set to report second-quarter earnings after the market’s close on Thursday. All eyes will be on the growth of the company’s core Google business, which houses its Internet brands, such as Gmail, Youtube and the Google search engine. This will be the second earnings report since Google restructured under the new Alphabet parent company and reporting structure. While it broke out revenue from its experimental “moonshots” business for the first time last quarter, analysts are expected to focus on Google’s progress with cloud computing and how it stacks up against rivals, such as Amazon.com’s Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Corp.’s Azure.

8:08 AM ETThe European Central Bank leaves rates unchanged. ECB President Mario Draghi faces tough questions over the implementation of its aggressive stimulus measures. Here’s a recap of all the action from our live blog.

- 'Verbal QE'
- William Watts
So far, no surprises. This looks like a meeting that will see Draghi laying out markers for the future.
Analysts at the Institute for International Finance see the possibility of Draghi utilizing some “verbal QE” in an attempt to weaken the euro, which is now at levels last seen in early 2015 on a trade-weighted basis.
Here’s what they expect:
Draghi will likely recycle the committed tone he had this past Friday during the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, where he reiterated that the ECB will do “whatever is needed” to return inflation back to its target of 2%. Work will continue in the background in case further monetary support is needed later in the year, including preparations to increase the role of national central banks in its QE program and consideration of a tiered approach to applying negative policy rates.

Netflix Inc. /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed /quotes/zigman/87598/lastsale NFLX is set to report its first-quarter earnings Monday after the market closes. Shares fell more than 4% during intraday trade as Amazon.com Inc. announced a monthly subscription plan for its rival streaming service. Wall Street expects Netflix’s U.S. subscription growth to slow significantly, but Netflix sought to counter that trend by betting large on international markets at the onset of the quarter, launching in 130 countries. Along with expected net subscriber additions of 1.3 million in the U.S. and just over 4 million internationally, analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast Netflix will report adjusted earnings of 4 cents per share and revenue of $1.97 billion. MarketWatch reporter Trey Williams (@Trey3Williams) and Tech Editor Jeremy C. Owens (@jowens510) will live-blog Netflix’s earnings release as well as the following conference call with Chief Executive Reed Hastings and other executives, which is expected to begin at 5 p.m. Eastern time.
