Markets Move Upward But Labor Market Is Shaky
Jobs have been shoring up the economy until now — but last week’s jobs report shows the labor market may be on shaky ground. Still, the Dow and S&P 500 pushed higher last week amid renewed promises of Iran talks and lower oil.
The Fed, Iran and Inflation
Markets finally reacted to all commotion last week — and not in a good way. Renewed tensions in the Middle East pushed oil and bond yields up, fanning new inflation concerns right before the Fed’s next meeting.
Inflation Dips In June, But Will It Last?
Consumer and producer prices both dipped in June, largely due to falling oil prices amid the Iran ceasefire. But with oil back up and tensions flaring again, this may be a head fake rather than a trend. Higher oil prices may mean next month’s n...

A Market Comeback In The Second Quarter

A Rough Week for Markets.
Last week’s market volatility had several drivers: a tech sell-off fueled by AI infrastructure cost concerns, an inflation reading that signals the Fed may be back on a rate-tightening path and ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. Meanwhile, Q1 GDP was ...

Iran, Inflation and A Big IPO.
Markets were on the move last week due to several factors: renewed U.S. military strikes on Iran and a sudden ceasefire; hot CPI and PPI readings; and a wobbling tech sector. And, oh yeah — the biggest IPO in history.
Iran, The Fed and Nvidia Earnings Move Markets.
Iran tensions and a new Fed chair could have dragged markets down last week, but they moved up instead on news of better-than-expected Nvidia earnings. How long can markets continue to shrug off the noise? Our latest weekly market update covers...

Markets Hit New Highs Even As Uncertainty Continues
Markets posted new records last week despite elevated oil prices and Fed chair drama.
Markets Move On From Iran
Markets reached record highs last week despite the ongoing Iran conflict. Iran headlines will continue to dominate headlines, but they’ll share airtime this week with the Fed’s rate decision and Powell’s last meeting as Fed Chair.
Records Are Back, But Uncertainty Is Still Going Strong
New record highs for the major indexes. Falling oil prices. Rising inflation. A Fed leadership fight. There’s lots of drama to go around — and it likely won’t go away anytime soon.
Markets Rally, But Oil Remains a Risk.
Markets closed Q1 on an up note, but elevated oil prices and Iran tensions are raising real recession concerns.
