Show Notes
Michael Reinking, NYSE Senior Market Strategist, recaps a volatile week shaped by intensifying AI‑related job fears and new geopolitical pressures. AI‑driven layoffs and sector rotation weighed on tech and financials, even as headline index moves stayed relatively contained. Operation Epic Fury pushed oil sharply higher and sent Treasury yields up on renewed war‑flation concerns. Markets swung on shifting headlines around Hormuz security and potential backchannel talks. With key jobs data and inflation reports ahead, investors remain cautious and highly reactive to both AI sentiment and Middle East developments.
