Summary
US equities were higher this week as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both capped off a sixth-straight weekly gain and ended at fresh record highs. The Iran war remains the key focal point. AI was the other big story of the week. Data this week was headlined by Friday's April nonfarm payrolls report, which came in ahead at 115K.
