Brief Overview
Welcome back to this week’s Stocks to Watch!
We hope you are all enjoying the Weekend! Getting right into the action this week, we’ll hear from a couple familiar companies with MU & COST reporting earnings this week. We also have a busy Fed Economic agenda this week, most notably the Powell press conference on Tuesday. Be sure to check out the calendar below!
Looking back at last week…
Monday: Tech & Trade Lift Markets
Indexes kicked off the week strong—S&P 500 & Nasdaq hit record levels. AI demand, better U.S.-China trade vibes (especially around TikTok’s U.S. ownership framework), and hopes for rate cuts drove optimism. Nvidia had a bit of a headwind from a Chinese antitrust probe, but stocks broadly pushed higher.
Tuesday: Rate-Cut Anticipation Keeps Momentum
Markets stayed positive. The expectation of a Fed rate cut added fuel, especially as Treasury yields fell a bit. Investors also leaned into sectors that do well when borrowing costs ease.
Wednesday: Labor Revisions Paint a Mixed Picture
Midweek, jobs data revisions showed weaker numbers than previously reported, but markets shrugged it off. The idea that the labor market is cooling just enough kept rate-cut hopes alive without triggering panic.
Thursday: Inflation Stays in the Picture
Inflation readings reminded the market that things aren’t risk-free. Costs for goods (excluding food & energy) continued to creep up. Still, the inflation numbers didn’t derail the mood—just added nuance to expectations about how aggressive future rate cuts might be.
Friday: Records Persist, S&P & Nasdaq Cap Strong Week
Stocks closed the week on highs. S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all notched record highs again. Volume picked up, and upbeat earnings from companies like FedEx helped offset weaker guidance in parts of the industrial sector. Small caps lagged a little, but overall breadth was pretty solid.
Key Takeaway
This week was about balancing the good vibes with caution. Even though inflation and labor data showed softer spots, markets leaned into signs that rate cuts are likely. Tech, AI, and trade developments (esp. U.S.-China) kept the excitement alive. Next week, inflation reports, Fed commentary, and small-cap performance will be key signals.
