📉 TL;DR – Last Week in 60 Seconds
Stocks took a breather: the S&P 500 slipped, while small-caps kept sprinting. Mega-cap tech cooled after a strong run, but “real economy” sectors held up. The U.S. dollar firmed and metals jumped as traders watched Treasury yields and a fresh batch of inflation data. The Fed hinted it may not rush rate cuts, keeping nerves alive.
Bitcoin bounced, helped by steadier risk appetite. Earnings season kicked off with banks setting the tone. Trade noise returned too: President Trump floated new tariffs on NATO allies, adding another headline risk for global supply chains and defense budgets.
