The Federal Reserve is expected to significantly reduce interest rates at its meeting Tuesday and Wednesday. It will provide even more juice for stocks, which continued to hit fresh records last week.

Another round of trade talks between the US and China starts Tuesday in Shanghai. It will be the first time top dealers meet personally since US President Donald Trump and his Chinese colleague Xi Jinping agreed on a ceasefire at the G20 meeting last month.
It is also the US work report for July that hits Friday. Investors will review the data to see if they back up the Fed's decision.

It seems investors in both companies like the deal. Just Eat shares jumped 25% on early trading Monday. Takeout shares increased by 4%.
