Summary
U.S. stocks surge, with the S&P 500 up 16% from its yearly low and 8% YTD. Next week, inflation numbers, consumer spending reports, Iran war progress, and Trump-Xi meeting will impact the market. The war spiked energy prices by 60% this year, with investors awaiting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to cool crude costs. The rally is driven by strong corporate earnings, with AI spending boosting data centers. Tuesdays CPI may show a 0.6% increase, but core inflation will signal rate cut hopes. Wednesdays PPI and Thursdays retail sales will also influence the market. Gas prices hit $4.50/gallon, squeezing budgets but not spending yet. Markets have priced out cuts this year, so core inflation and Trump-Xi talks on rare earths and tech will determine if the hot streak continues or hits the brakes.
