We’re back with another issue! After a few weeks of decent performance, the market has finally decided to take a step back, with tech taking the brunt of the losses. The Nasdaq (QQQ) ended the week down a whopping 5.5%, while the S&P 500 (SPY) finished down 2%, all in the face of rising inflation, uncertainty surrounding the Fed's upcoming decision, and weakness in tech (AI) stocks, all of which—evidently—weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Monday started the week slightly

We’re back with another issue! Despite the Nasdaq’s middling performance, last week still managed to be a positive one for the market at large! The Nasdaq (QQQ) ended the week up 0.2%, while the S&P 500 (SPY) finished up 1.2%, allowing the S&P 500 to shine at last. As has been the way over these last several weeks, most of the week centered around AI stocks, oil prices, and the addition of the upcoming earnings season. Monday started the week on a strong note as major indices

We’re back with another issue, everyone! Last week was a mixed one for the market, with tech managing to finish slightly higher while the rest of the market struggled to stay positive. While the Nasdaq (QQQ) ended the week up 0.7%, the S&P 500 (SPY) finished down 0.2%, and most of the week centered around the same stuff it’s been focused on for the last few weeks: treasury yields, inflation data, oil prices, and—in this case—Friday’s jobs report. Monday started the week in th

We’re back with another issue! Last week was a strong one for the market and tech especially. The Nasdaq (QQQ) ended the week up a whopping 3.2%, while the S&P 500 (SPY) finished up a decent 1.3%. A lot of the week’s movement came from optimism surrounding AI and chip stocks. Monday started the week off on a positive note as tech stocks pushed higher, which helped the Nasdaq reach a record high. AMD (AMD) was one of the biggest movers of the day, and as a result, its market c

We’re back with yet another weekly issue! Last week was another choppy one, with the market spending most of its time reacting to oil prices and the Fed’s latest rate decision. The Nasdaq (QQQ) ended the week up 0.9%, while the S&P 500 (SPY) finished down 0.3%, and while the greater market sort of struggled to climb higher, tech managed to pull way ahead. After some warning from several AI leaders—all in regards to slowing down the development of AI models—stocks such as Nvid

We’re back with another issue after the long weekend! Although last week was a shorter one due to Labor Day, there's still plenty to discuss. Most of the week centered around oil prices, inflation, and the Fed’s upcoming decision on interest rates, and by Friday's close, the Nasdaq (QQQ) ended down 0.6%, while the S&P 500 (SPY) finished down 0.8%.
