    2026 02/09 - 02/13. Wall Street faces turmoil as tech stocks decline amid mixed economic signals in an uncertain landscape

    This week saw heightened market volatility as technology stocks faced significant selling pressure amidst concerns over AI disruption and elevated valuations. The Dow Jones initially surged but retreated sharply, with mixed economic indicators, a strong labor data clashing with weak retail sales and plummeting housing demand. Encouragingly, a subdued inflation report led to lower Treasury yields, fostering hope for interest rate cuts. Investors now turn to a compressed trading week with crucial retail earnings on the horizon. |-----| * S&P. * 02/09 M. 6,964.82 | * 02/10 T. 6,941.81 | * 02/11 W. 6,941.47 | * 02/12 T. 6,832.76 | * 02/13 F. 6,836.17 | |---| * Nasdaq. * 02/09 M. 23,238.67 | * 02/10 T. 23,102.47 | * 02/11 W. 23,066.47 | * 02/12 T. 22,597.15 | * 02/13 F. 22,546.67 | |---| * DJI. * 02/09 M. 50,135.87 | * 02/10 T. 50,188.14 | * 02/11 W. 50,121.40 | * 02/12 T. 49,451.98 | * 02/13 F. 49,500.93 | |-----| * 2-yr T Bond %. * 02/09 M. 3.483 | * 02/10 T. 3.454 | * 02/11 W. 3.512 | * 02/12 T. 3.466 | * 02/13 F. 3.410 | |---| * 10-yr T Bond %. * 02/09 M. 4.198 | * 02/10 T. 4.145 | * 02/11 W. 4.172 | * 02/12 T. 4.104 | * 02/13 F. 4.056 | |-----| * S&P ROC %. * 02/09 M. 0.469 | * 02/10 T. -0.33 | * 02/11 W. -0.005 | * 02/12 T. -1.566 | * 02/13 F. 0.05 | |---| * VIX. * 02/09 M. 17.36 | * 02/10 T. 17.79 | * 02/11 W. 17.65 | * 02/12 T. 20.82 | * 02/13 F. 20.60 | |---| * Shiller PE. * 02/09 M. 40.58 | * 02/10 T. 40.36 | * 02/11 W. 40.35 | * 02/12 T. 39.71 | * 02/13 F. 39.74 | |-----| * BCOM. * 02/09 M. 118.4447 | * 02/10 T. 117.7393 | * 02/11 W. 118.8503 | * 02/12 T. 117.0704 | * 02/13 F. 117.3452 | |---| * BCOMENTR. * 02/09 M. 70.1084 | * 02/10 T. 69.6186 | * 02/11 W. 70.4625 | * 02/12 T. 69.1015 | * 02/13 F. 69.2256 | |---| * BCOMINTR. * 02/09 M. 431.96 | * 02/10 T. 430.30 | * 02/11 W. 434.01 | * 02/12 T. 426.32 | * 02/13 F. 423.65 | |---| * SPGSAG. * 02/09 M. 344.50 | * 02/10 T. 344.37 | * 02/11 W. 345.97 | * 02/12 T. 351.06 | * 02/13 F. 349.24 | |---| * SPGSPM. * 02/09 M. 6,806.93 | * 02/10 T. 6,733.05 | * 02/11 W. 6,848.15 | * 02/12 T. 6,592.23 | * 02/13 F. 6,730.00 | |-----| * WTI Crude Oil. * 02/09 M. 64.36 | * 02/10 T. 63.96 | * 02/11 W. 64.63 | * 02/12 T. 62.84 | * 02/13 F. 62.89 | |---| * HH Natural Gas. * 02/09 M. 3.138 | * 02/10 T. 3.115 | * 02/11 W. 3.159 | * 02/12 T. 3.217 | * 02/13 F. 3.243 | |-----| * Key Economic Events. * 02/16 M.

    2026 02/02 - 02/06. Wall Street's Dow Jones Index surpasses 50,000 amid a groundbreaking U.S.-India trade pact, While the tech sector faces volatility and cryptocurrency markets struggle

    This week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eclipsed 50,000 points, fueled by a landmark trade agreement between the U.S. and India. However, other indexes, particularly in the tech sector, exhibit significant volatility driven by heavy AI investments. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency faces a troubling decline, labeled a "death spiral," while Treasury yields fall amid disappointing labor data, and crude oil prices drop amid shifting U.S.-Iran relations. Looking ahead, investors will closely monitor inflation reports and corporate earnings, as well as the effects of geopolitical shifts and AI spending on economic sentiment. |-----| * S&P. * 02/02 M. 6,976.44 | * 02/03 T. 6,917.81 | * 02/04 W. 6,882.72 | * 02/05 T. 6,798.40 | * 02/06 F. 6,932.30 | |---| * Nasdaq. * 02/02 M. 23,592.11 | * 02/03 T. 23,255.19 | * 02/04 W. 22,904.58 | * 02/05 T. 22,540.59 | * 02/06 F. 23,031.21 | |---| * DJI. * 02/02 M. 49,407.66 | * 02/03 T. 49,240.99 | * 02/04 W. 49,501.30 | * 02/05 T. 48,908.72 | * 02/06 F. 50,115.67 | |-----| * 2-yr T Bond %. * 02/02 M. 3.570 | * 02/03 T. 3.572 | * 02/04 W. 3.559 | * 02/05 T. 3.483 | * 02/06 F. 3.495 | |---| * 10-yr T Bond %. * 02/02 M. 4.277 | * 02/03 T. 4.273 | * 02/04 W. 4.278 | * 02/05 T. 4.210 | * 02/06 F. 4.206 | |-----| * S&P ROC %. * 02/02 M. 0.539 | * 02/03 T. -0.84 | * 02/04 W. -0.507 | * 02/05 T. -1.225 | * 02/06 F. 1.97 | |---| * VIX. * 02/02 M. 16.34 | * 02/03 T. 18.00 | * 02/04 W. 18.64 | * 02/05 T. 21.77 | * 02/06 F. 20.37 | |---| * Shiller PE. * 02/02 M. 40.67 | * 02/03 T. 40.32 | * 02/04 W. 40.12 | * 02/05 T. 39.60 | * 02/06 F. 40.38 | |-----| * BCOMENTR. * 02/02 M. 68.4225 | * 02/03 T. 69.6954 | * 02/04 W. 71.9274 | * 02/05 T. 70.9104 | * 02/06 F. 70.8962 | |---| * BCOMINTR. * 02/02 M. 422.95 | * 02/03 T. 434.33 | * 02/04 W. 425.32 | * 02/05 T. 421.70 | * 02/06 F. 426.53 | |---| * SPGSAG. * 02/02 M. 343.64 | * 02/03 T. 343.65 | * 02/04 W. 343.20 | * 02/05 T. 346.85 | * 02/06 F. 343.79 | |---| * SPGSPM. * 02/02 M. 6,248.84 | * 02/03 T. 6,643.56 | * 02/04 W. 6,672.73 | * 02/05 T. 6,526.79 | * 02/06 F. 6,636.69 | |-----| * WTI Crude Oil. * 02/02 M. 62.14 | * 02/03 T. 63.21 | * 02/04 W. 65.14 | * 02/05 T. 63.29 | * 02/06 F. 63.55 | |-----| * Economic Events. * 02/10 T.

    2026 01/26 - 01/30. Wall Street experienced turbulence as the Fed nomination strengthened the dollar, leading to a plunge in gold and silver prices amid a mixed earnings report

    This week on Wall Street Week, we examine a tumultuous trading landscape in late January 2026, sparked by the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair, which bolstered the dollar and precipitated a historic decline in gold and silver prices. Equity markets struggled with mixed corporate earnings reports, most notably a significant drop in Microsoft, overshadowing gains from technology leaders like Meta. Compounding the volatility, rising crude oil prices emerged from heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and domestic supply chain disruptions due to severe winter weather. Overall, investor sentiment appears to be shifting from a phase of aggressive growth optimism to a more cautious and defensive outlook. |-----| * S&P. 01/26 M. 6,950.23 | 01/27 T. 6,978.60 | 01/28 W. 6,978.03 | 01/29 T. 6,969.01 | 01/30 F. 6,939.03 | |---| * Nasdaq. 01/26 M. 23,601.36 | 01/27 T. 23,817.10 | 01/28 W. 23,857.45 | 01/29 T. 23,685.12 | 01/30 F. 23,461.82 | |---| * DJI. 01/26 M. 49,412.40 | 01/27 T. 49,003.41 | 01/28 W. 49,015.60 | 01/29 T. 49,071.56 | 01/30 F. 48,892.47 | |---| * 2-yr T Bond %. 01/26 M. 3.590 | 01/27 T. 3.569 | 01/28 W. 3.581 | 01/29 T. 3.551 | 01/30 F. 3.527 | |---| * 10-yr T Bond %. 01/26 M. 4.211 | 01/27 T. 4.223 | 01/28 W. 4.251 | 01/29 T. 4.227 | 01/30 F. 4.241 | |-----| * S&P ROC %. 01/26 M. 0.501 | 01/27 T. 0.408 | 01/28 W. -0.008 | 01/29 T. -0.129 | 01/30 F. -0.430 | |---| * VIX. 01/26 M. 16.15 | 01/27 T. 16.35 | 01/28 W. 16.35 | 01/29 T. 16.88 | 01/30 F. 17.44 | |---| * Shiller PE. 01/26 M. 40.92 | 01/27 T. 41.03 | 01/28 W. 41.02 | 01/29 T. 40.94 | 01/30 F. 40.81 | |-----| * BCOMENTR. 01/26 M. 70.9364 | 01/27 T. 71.7526 | 01/28 W. 72.0158 | 01/29 T. 74.5063 | 01/30 F. 77.0174 | |---| * BCOMINTR. 01/26 M. 439.97 | 01/27 T. 434.69 | 01/28 W. 438.81 | 01/29 T. 446.93 | 01/30 F. 434.75 | |---| * SPGSAG. 01/26 M. 347.86 | 01/27 T. 349.94 | 01/28 W. 349.90 | 01/29 T. 349.97 | 01/30 F. 345.84 | |---| * SPGSPM. 01/26 M. 7,172.79 | 01/27 T. 7,079.69 | 01/28 W. 7,412.24 | 01/29 T. 7,438.08 | 01/30 F. 6,372.99 | |-----| * WTI Crude Oil. 01/26 M. 60.63 | 01/27 T. 62.39 | 01/28 W. 63.21 | 01/29 T. 65.42 | 01/30 F. 65.21 | |-----| * Key Earnings Releases. * 02/02 M.

  4. 2026 01/19 - 01/23. Wall Street volatility sparks safe-haven surge amid tariff threats; Strong GDP growth and major tech earnings season on horizon

    25 JAN

    2026 01/19 - 01/23. Wall Street volatility sparks safe-haven surge amid tariff threats; Strong GDP growth and major tech earnings season on horizon

    This week’s Wall Street Week highlights extreme market volatility prompted by aggressive tariff threats concerning Greenland, resulting in a significant sell-off and a notable rise in safe-haven assets like gold and silver, which hit historic highs as investors sought to mitigate global uncertainty. Despite these geopolitical tensions, strong domestic economic indicators, including a robust 4.3% GDP growth rate, coincide with the kickoff of tech earnings season. Investors are bracing for a "triple threat" this week, with a Federal Reserve interest rate decision, earnings reports from the "Magnificent Seven," and key macro data releases such as Durable Goods Orders and Consumer Confidence on the agenda. |-----| * S&P. * 01/19 M.

  5. 2026 01/12 - 01/16. Wall Street faces volatility as earnings season unfolds; record highs for precious metals amid crude oil fluctuations

    18 JAN

    2026 01/12 - 01/16. Wall Street faces volatility as earnings season unfolds; record highs for precious metals amid crude oil fluctuations

    This week’s edition of Wall Street Week highlights a period marked by significant volatility, where political uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve and rising Treasury yields have put pressure on record-high stock prices. The main financial news focuses on the onset of earnings season, which revealed mixed results from the banking sector. The weekly indexes performance updates for the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones indicate a shift from aggressive momentum investing to a more cautious approach centered on valuations. In the commodities market, precious metals reached all-time highs, while crude oil prices experienced fluctuations due to evolving diplomatic strategies in the Middle East.

    11 JAN

    2026 01/05 - 01/09. Wall Street hits record highs with a strong labor market and AI innovations drive sector rotation amid geopolitical changes

    This week’s edition of Wall Street Week highlights the first complete week of financial trading in 2026, during which major indices soared to unprecedented record highs. The remarkable performance in the markets was driven by a strong labor market report, groundbreaking advancements in AI technology showcased at CES, and significant geopolitical changes affecting global oil supplies. Investors engaged in a noteworthy sector rotation, shifting their focus from the high-growth technology sector to more cyclical areas such as energy, defense, and housing, spurred by new government policy proposals. At the same time, the commodity markets experienced a substantial rebalancing, which led to increased volatility in precious metals, while industrial metals remained relatively stable. The week wrapped up with a narrative of a soft landing for the economy, as market participants braced themselves for the upcoming fourth-quarter earnings season and key inflation data. |---| * S&P. * 01/05 Mo 6,902.05 * 01/06 Tu 6,944.82 * 01/07 We 6,920.93 * 01/08 Th 6,921.46 * 01/09 Fr 6,966.28 |---| * Nasdaq. * 01/05 Mo 23,395.82 * 01/06 Tu 23,547.17 * 01/07 We 23,584.28 * 01/08 Th 23,480.02 * 01/09 Fr 23,671.35 |---| * DJI. * 01/05 Mo 48,977.18 * 01/06 Tu 49,462.08 * 01/07 We 48,996.08 * 01/08 Th 49,266.11 * 01/09 Fr 49,504.07 |------------------| * 2-yr T Bond %. * 01/05 Mo 3.455 * 01/06 Tu 3.473 * 01/07 We 3.469 * 01/08 Th 3.488 * 01/09 Fr 3.540 |---| * 10-yr T Bond %. * 01/05 Mo 4.163 * 01/06 Tu 4.179 * 01/07 We 4.138 * 01/08 Th 4.183 * 01/09 Fr 4.171 |------------------| * S&P ROC %. * 01/05 Mo 0.635 * 01/06 Tu 0.620 * 01/07 We -0.344 * 01/08 Th 0.008 * 01/09 Fr 0.648 |---| * VIX. * 01/05 Mo 14.90 * 01/06 Tu 14.75 * 01/07 We 15.38 * 01/08 Th 15.45 * 01/09 Fr 14.49 |------------------| * BCOMENTR. * 01/05 Mo 62.9060 * 01/06 Tu 61.7306 * 01/07 We 61.6379 * 01/08 Th 62.3583 * 01/09 Fr 62.2428 |---| * BCOMINTR. * 01/05 Mo 426.18 * 01/06 Tu 437.22 * 01/07 We 425.89 * 01/08 Th 420.68 * 01/09 Fr 428.00 |---| * SPGSAG. * 01/05 Mo 355.98 * 01/06 Tu 356.86 * 01/07 We 359.87 * 01/08 Th 359.21 * 01/09 Fr 355.16 |---| * SPGSPM. * 01/05 Mo 6,007.20 * 01/06 Tu 6,101.60 * 01/07 We 6,029.30 * 01/08 Th 6,011.62 * 01/09 Fr 6,107.28 |------------------| * WTI Crude Oil. * 01/05 Mo 58.32 * 01/06 Tu 57.13 | * 01/07 We 55.99 * 01/08 Th 57.76 * 01/09 Fr 59.12 |---| * Key Economic Events & Data Releases. * Monday, January 12th, 10-Year Note Auction. * Tuesday, January 13th, December Consumer Price Index (CPI). * Wedneday, January 14th, November Producer Price Index (PPI). * Wednesday, January 14th, November Retail Sales. * Thursday, January 15th, Empire State & Philly Fed Mfg. * Friday, January 16th, December Industrial Production. |---| * Major Earnings Releases. * Monday, January 12th, No major earnings releases. * Tuesday, January 13th, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C). * Wednesday, January 14th, Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC). * Thursday, January 15th, Taiwan Semi (TSM), BlackRock (BLK), Netflix (NFLX). * Friday, January 16th, Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS). |---| The complete audio transcript will be accessible at the following link: https://wallstreetweek.substack.com/ when it becomes available.

    4 JAN

    2025 12/29 - 01/02. Wall Street posted strong returns on New Year's Day despite a cautious tone amid a volatile week.

    This week on Wall Street Week, we will delve into a week defined by significant volatility and shortened trading days due to the holiday schedule. Despite a cautious downward trend in the final week of December, major stock indices posted strong annual returns. The GICS has pivoted away from overvalued technology stocks and is increasingly focused on energy and industrial sectors. In the commodity market, crude oil prices have declined sharply amid oversupply, while precious metals and Treasury yields have been somewhat unpredictable. Looking ahead, key economic events are on the horizon, including labor market reports and corporate earnings announcements, which are set to shape Wall Street's outlook as we transition into the new year. |--------------| 12/29 M - | 12/30 T - | 12/31 W - | 1/01 T - | 1/02 F - | |--------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | S&P | 6,905.74 | 6,896.24 | 6,845.50 | Closed | 6,858.47 | | Nasdaq | 23,474.35 | 23,419.08 | 23,241.99 | Closed | 23,235.63 | | DJI | 48,461.93 | 48,367.06 | 48,063.29 | Closed | 48,382.39 | | VIX | 14.20 | 14.33 | 14.95 | Closed | 14.51 | | 2-yr T Bond % | 3.465 | 3.454 | 3.469 | 3.475 | 3.477 | | 10-yr T Bond % | 4.116 | 4.128 | 4.153 | 4.175 | 4.189 | |--------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | BCOMENTR | 65.6431 | 65.6065 | 63.8445 | Closed | 63.1075 | | SPGSPM | 5,820.50 | 5,941.79 | 5,818.89 | Closed | 5,809.15 | | SPGSAG | 356.52 | 353.97 | 352.4 | Closed | 351.15 | | BCOMINTR | 402.97 | 414.59 | 411.57 | Closed | 413.34 | |--------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | Crude Oil WTI | 58.08 | 57.95 | 57.42 | 57.49 | 57.32 | The complete audio transcript will be accessible at the following link: https://wallstreetweek.substack.com/ when it becomes available.

    2025 12/22 - 12/26. Wall Street closed strongly across major indices at the end of 2025, as investors are optimistically preparing for 2026.

    This week on Wall Street Week, we discuss the last full week of December 2025, during which U.S. financial markets experienced a significant upward trend known as a Santa Claus rally. Major equity indices, including the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, reached record highs, fueled by light trading volume and positive investor sentiment. While crude oil prices experienced fluctuations due to geopolitical tensions in Venezuela and the possibility of peace talks in Ukraine, precious metals showed notable gains. Treasury yields remained largely stable, and the VIX volatility index decreased, indicating a period of market calm.Although there was a slight dip in the markets on the day after Christmas, the week ended on a strong note, particularly for the technology and energy sectors. Looking ahead, projections suggest that investors are now focusing on 2026 economic forecasts and upcoming insights from the Federal Reserve regarding its policy. |--------------| 12/22 M - | 12/23 T - | 12/24 W - | 12/25 T - | 12/26 F - | |----------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | S&P | 6,878.49 | 6,909.79 | 6,932.05 | Closed | 6,929.94 | | Nasdaq | 23,428.83 | 23,561.84 | 23,613.31 | Closed | 23,593.10 | | DJI | 48,362.68 | 48,442.41 | 48,731.16 | Closed | 48,710.97 | | VIX | 14.08 | 14.00 | 13.47 | Closed | 13.60 | | 2-yr T Bond % | 3.509 | 3.528 | 3.51 | 3.503 | 3.483 | | 10-yr T Bond % | 4.171 | 4.169 | 4.134 | 4.133 | 4.134 | |----------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | BCOMENTR | 63.7807 | 65.4841 | 65.0305 | Closed | 64.5153 | | SPGSPM | 5,951.81 | 6,019.23 | 6,020.98 | Closed | 6,132.37 | | SPGSAG | 355.36 | 356.55 | 359.01 | Closed | 358.61 | | BCOMINTR | 395.53 | 401.61 | 403.37 | Closed | 411.09 | |----------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | Crude Oil WTI | 58.01 | 58.38 | 58.35 | 58.53 | 56.74 | The complete audio transcript will be accessible at the following link: https://wallstreetweek.substack.com/ when it becomes available.

In addition to fluctuations in equities, Treasury yields also experienced notable changes. The energy market faced challenges due to downward pressure from global supply surpluses and geopolitical tensions. Overall, this week's economic news reflects investors' mixed sentiment as 2025 comes to a close, balancing macroeconomic fears with optimism about the holiday season.

    15/12/2025

    2025 12/08 - 12/12. The Federal Reserve's expected interest rate cut boosted Wall Street, leading the Dow Jones and S&P 500 to new record highs.

    This week, Wall Street Week reviews market activity from December 8 to December 12, 2025. The report tracks the daily performance of major indices, including the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI), as well as bond yields and commodity markets. A key focus during this period was the Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate cut, which initially spurred gains in the broader market, pushing both the Dow and the S&P 500 to achieve new record highs. In addition to the overall market trends, we observed a significant sector rotation throughout the week. Concerns regarding the high valuations of technology stocks, particularly in the AI sector, led to the Nasdaq underperforming. Conversely, value-oriented sectors such as Industrials and Healthcare saw an increase in investor demand. The market's reaction to the easing of monetary policy suggests that the outcomes of upcoming central bank meetings and economic data will be crucial in the week ahead. |-------------| 12/08 M --| 12/09 T --| 12/10 W --| 12/11 T --| 12/12 F --| |-------------|------------|------------|------------|-----------|-----------| | S&P Close | 6,846.51 | 6,840.51 | 6,886.68 | 6,901.00 | 6,827.41 | | NDAQ Close | 23,545.90 | 23,576.49 | 23,654.15 | 23,593.86 | 23,195.17 | | DJI Close | 47,739.32 | 47,560.29 | 48,057.75 | 48,704.01 | 48,458.05 | | VIX Close | 16.66 | 16.93 | 15.77 | 14.85 | 15.74 | | 2-yr T Bond | 3.57% | 3.61% | 3.54% | 3.52% | 3.52% | | 10-yr T Bond | 4.17% | 4.18% | 4.13% | 4.14% | 4.19% | The complete audio transcript will be accessible at the following link: https://wallstreetweek.substack.com/ when it becomes available.
