Surging oil prices and hotter inflation reports reignited rate-hike concerns, sending Treasury yields to one-year highs as the Iran conflict remained stalemated despite the highly anticipated Trump-Xi summit.
U.S. equity markets advanced for a fifth straight week - their longest winning streak since 2024 - as strong earnings, resilient data, and hopes for lasting Iran peace fueled optimism. Investors looked through another oil-price surge and inflationary pressure, focusing instead on corporate resilience and economic strength despite a complex macro backdrop shaped by geopolitical and policy uncertainty. The Fed held rates steady in an unusually fractured 8-4 vote, while Powell's plan to remain on the Board broke precedent and raised politically charged succession questions.
U.S. equities surged to record highs as optimism over a potential U.S.-Iran peace deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz drove a risk-on rally, pushing oil sharply lower. Markets rapidly repriced the risk of a prolonged oil shock after the Strait of Hormuz reopened, easing fears of a major energy disruption that could have derailed global growth. Cooler-than-expected PPI data and a solid start to earnings season supported equities, though renewed threats to shipping traffic over the weekend underscored that progress toward de-escalation remains fragile.
U.S. equity markets snapped a five-week losing streak this week, while interest rates retreated, as resilient economic data pushed back against stagflation concerns amid a continuation of the Iran conflict. Major equity benchmarks rebounded sharply, with the S&P 500 gaining 3.4% and the Nasdaq 100 rising 4.0%, while real estate stocks outperformed as falling Treasury yields boosted rate-sensitive sectors. Treasury yields declined despite surging oil prices, breaking their recent correlation with crude, as investors weighed solid U.S. employment data against risks that higher energy costs could slow growth abroad.
U.S. equity markets fell for a fifth-straight week— pulling several major benchmarks into correction territory— as the Iran conflict remained locked in a volatile stalemate, keeping energy markets on edge. The fourth week of the Iran conflict delivered little progress toward de-escalation, as Washington maintained strikes on Iranian nuclear sites while Tehran continued retaliatory attacks across the Persian Gulf. The S&P 500 declined 2.1% this week and now sits 8.7% below its late-January record. The Dow and Nasdaq both entered "correction" territory, while the VIX volatility index topped 30.
