📈 TL;DR – Last Week in 60 Seconds
Stocks ended the holiday-shortened week higher, with the S&P 500 pushing fresh record territory. Confidence got a lift from a stronger GDP* update, and investors kept betting the Fed will keep cutting rates in 2026. Bond yields (the market’s key interest rates) eased, which helped growth stocks keep their footing.
Gold ripped higher, and silver’s move turned into the week’s loudest chart. Single-stock headlines still mattered: Target popped on activist chatter, and Nvidia got a boost from an AI partnership headline. Next up: Fed meeting minutes and fresh labor data.
