📈 TL;DR – The Week in 60 Seconds
Tech led the comeback, but weekend Iran headlines kept the victory lap short. The S&P 500 hit a record Friday as Intel’s blowout report pulled chip stocks and big tech higher, while the Dow lagged. The cancelled U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations pushed oil higher Sunday and cooled stock futures, a reminder that energy shocks can still tug on inflation fears.
Gold and silver fell hard as the dollar steadied. Bitcoin held up better as crypto buyers stayed active. This week, earnings and the Federal Reserve’s meeting decide whether buyers keep chasing records or take a breather.
