Good MorningStocks showed resilience last week despite the drag from the government shutdown, which slowed data releases but did little to shake investor confidence. History suggests these events rarely have lasting effects on markets, and that held true again as the S&P 500 continued to trend higher. The bigger story was trade tension—tariff talk from Washington briefly rattled sentiment, but investors largely shrugged it off as negotiations over rare earth metals remain unresolved. Meanwhile, expectations for Fed rate cuts this year stayed firm, with futures still pricing in at least one 25-basis-point move by year-end.
AI stocks continued to drive momentum. AMD surged after announcing a multibillion-dollar chip deal with OpenAI, Applied Digital extended its rally on heavy demand for data center capacity, and NVIDIA’s analysts kept raising price targets, with Cantor Fitzgerald setting a new high at $300. Looking ahead, inflation data and earnings will take center stage. CPI results will offer clues on the Fed’s next steps, while key reports from Fastenal, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, and Kinder Morgan will set the tone for Q3 earnings season.
