## Resource

Major US equity indices were higher this week with the S&P500 and Nasdaq both recording their fifth straight weekly gains, ending at fresh closing highs. This week reinforced a resilient macro and earnings backdrop, as Q1 S&P 500 results were notably strong, with growth accelerating to ~27% and beat rates well above historical averages. The Fed FOMC meeting ended with rates unchanged but was marked by rare internal division, with four dissents reflecting disagreement over easing bias.
