Show Notes
Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a week where markets hit record highs amid shifting dynamics. A softer CPI print confirmed a Fed rate cut, while tech led gains on surging AI optimism and Nvidia crossing $5T in market cap. Earnings remained strong, driven by massive AI infrastructure investments from hyperscalers. Trade talks delivered a limited U.S.-China truce, easing some uncertainty but leaving tariff challenges ahead. The week ended with mixed reactions to the Fed’s cautious tone as investors look toward more earnings and key economic data next week.
