The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at fresh records, but lighter volume, mixed breadth, and elevated Treasury yields keep focus on retail sales and the Fed.
U.S. equities gained as oil pulled back ahead of the CPI print, with sector rotation and Treasury yields still framing the near-term risk picture.
After a 1,325-point Dow surge and a 16% oil drop, U.S. markets head into CPI with Treasury yields, sector rotation, and Fed guidance driving risk.
Dow +1,325, S&P 500 +2.51%, and Nasdaq +2.80% as WTI dropped over 16% to $94.41 after a US-Iran ceasefire repriced energy and inflation risk.
S&P 500 +3.4%, Nasdaq +4.4% for the week — the best gains since November — even as WTI crude surged 11% to $111.54 on Trump's threat to hit Iran "extremely hard."
