It was a buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news week for Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN). On Feb. 11, the company announced an all-stock merger with Coterra Energy (NYSE: CTRA) that if approved by shareholders of both companies will create a $58 billion energy giant.

Good MorningStocks moved lower last week, but the broader uptrend held up as the NASDAQ Composite led the decline while the Dow and Russell 2000 consolidated. Focus stayed on NVIDIA’s upcoming earnings, with AI-heavy mega-caps still carrying outsized weight in the S&P 500—supportive if results impressed, but risky if expectations proved too high.
Economic data generally improved, including stronger payroll growth, lower unemployment, steady wage gains, and jobless claims that remained healthy, even as the Challenger report hinted at rising layoffs. With Fed-cut odds looking less certain, attention turned to this week’s key releases, especially the PCE Price Index and FOMC minutes, along with late-stage earnings from retail and a few major names.
Any shifts in rate-cut expectations, as well as earnings or guidance headlines, will provide clues on whether leadership will broaden beyond big tech.
