The major stock market stories for the week of May 26 to May 29, 2026, were propelled by blockbuster AI earnings, a historic Dow milestone, and diplomatic progress in the Middle East, pushing the major indexes to fresh all-time highs. After returning from the Memorial Day holiday, the S&P 500 extended its winning streak to nine consecutive weeks, marking its longest positive run since 2023.  T...

The U.S. stock market logged its eighth consecutive winning week, driven by strong corporate earnings and AI enthusiasm, closing near record highs despite volatile oil prices and a new low in consumer sentiment.  Despite some choppiness early in the week, the bulls finally got there act together late to push the market higher.  The S&P 500 closed the week up 0.9% and closed just shy of 7,500,...

The stock market this past week (Mon. May 11 – Fri. May 15, 2026) was dominated by a tug-of-war between the unstoppable AI rally and growing fears about inflation, oil prices, and higher interest rates.  The stock market experienced a roller-coaster week surging to new all-time highs on Thursday, with the S&P 500 crossing 7,500 and the Dow crossing 50,000 for the first time, before everything...

This past week, U.S. stocks gained overall, with the S&P 500 rising 2.3% and the Nasdaq surging an astounding 5.5% on strong AI and tech momentum.  Markets navigated volatile oil prices driven by Middle East tensions, while semiconductor stocks saw significant gains following positive industry developments.  Technology led the gains, with the NASDAQ experiencing a strong week.  Key movers incl...

Last week--Monday, April 27 to Friday, May 1, 2026--the stock market had a strong week with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing at record highs, driven by stellar tech earnings--notably Apple and Google--and continued AI enthusiasm.  The week saw the S&P 500, the Nasdaq  and the Russell all rise significantly as investors looked past ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.  The Nasdaq...

Last week--Monday, April 20 to Friday, April 24, 2026--the stock market reached record highs, driven by a blockbuster earnings report from Intel and easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, despite a volatile start to the week. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both secured their fourth consecutive week of gains, with the S&P 500 closing above 7,100 for the first time.  The Nasdaq was the sta...

The stock market surged during the week of April 13–17 with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting record highs.  Markets rallied on hopes of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, which intensified after Iran indicated it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz following a ceasefire. This news reversed previous oil price surges, providing relief to global markets.  Banks began reporting solid first-quarte...

The stock market experienced a strong, rally-driven week from April 6 through to April 10, 2026, driven by a potential U.S.-Iran ceasefire easing geopolitical tensions, which caused oil prices to plunge.  A reported two-week pause in the Middle East conflict spurred a massive "risk-on" rally early in the week.  On the news of the ceasefire, oil prices experienced their biggest one-day de...

So this week was only a four-day trading, Monday March 30 to Thursday April 2, due to the Good Friday holiday.  The stock market was heavily driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with oil prices surging above $100 and driving volatility.  We saw big gains early in the week followed by a tumultuous Wednesday night trading session due to the Trump's speech, where we saw those earl...

The stock market for the week of March 23–27, 2026, was characterized by extreme volatility, driven primarily by shifting headlines regarding the conflict in Iran, fluctuating oil prices, and fears of a long-term bear market.  Stocks surged on Monday Mar 23, with the S&P 500 rising 1.1%, the Dow up 1.4%, and the Nasdaq up 1.4% after President Trump indicated possible, though unconfirmed, peace...

For the week of Monday, March 16, to Friday, March 20, 2026, the stock market was heavily driven by the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, fluctuating oil prices, and rising bond yields, which pushed major indices toward a fourth consecutive week of losses.  Despite a brief rally on Monday, markets sank for the rest of the week, with the S&P 500 hitting its lowest close of 2026...

The stock market experienced a volatile week ending March 13, 2026, marked by a third consecutive weekly decline, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, surging oil prices, and disappointing U.S. employment data.  The major indexes, including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq and the Russell, fell as investors feared rising inflation and slower economic growth.  The S&P 500 broke b...

The stock market experienced a volatile week ending March 6, 2026, driven by a "perfect storm" of surging oil prices due to the escalating Iran conflict and a surprisingly weak February jobs report. The major market indices all posted significant weekly losses, with the Dow having its worst week since April 2025.  Oil prices saw their biggest weekly gain since 1983, with WTI crude toppin...

The Dow suffered its biggest weekly drop since mid-November, falling 1.3%.  One of the reasons for this week's drop in the market was NVDA, which despite reporting strong Q4 results, dropped significantly, signaling potential fatigue in the AI trade and skepticism over the longevity of high-cost, mega-cap capital expenditures.  Market weakness was further driven a hotter-than-expected PPI inf...

For the week ending February 20, 2026, the stock market was dominated by a major Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, continued anxiety over Artificial Intelligence (AI) sustainability, and high-stakes anticipation for upcoming Nvidia earnings.  Despite initial volatility, the major indexes closed higher, with the Nasdaq snapping a five-week losing streak.  But the biggest news of the week came on Fri...
