Summary

Major US equity indices were higher this week following last week's mixed performance. The S&P logged its eighth straight weekly gain. Market breadth was positive with the equal weight S&P outperforming the cap-weighted index by roughly one hundred basis points. AI enthusiasm and consumer resilience remained the key bullish themes this week, supported by continued positive AI-related headlines and broadly constructive commentary around consumer spending trends and labor market strength.
