The Week That Was
U.S. equities advanced as investors looked past geopolitical volatility and focused on strong earnings, resilient labor data, and continued AI-related momentum. All major indexes were in the green led by the Nasdaq which gained 4.5% spurred on by an 8.4% rise in the technology sector (XLK). The SPX climbed by 2.4% to record highs, while small and mid-cap indexes climbed by 1.7%, also closing at new highs during the week.
Corporate earnings remained strong, with roughly 85% of S&P 500 companies having reported and just under 85% beating consensus estimates (Factset). The technology sector (XLK) was driven by memory names including MU and SNDK, which both gained in excess of 30%, while AMD and INTC posted mid-20% gains as investors sought CPU exposure as their importance to inference tech stacks became more clear. The Energy sector (XLE) was the big loser, down 5.4%, on renewed hopes for fruitful negotiations in the Middle East.
Labor market data were generally firm as initial jobless claims rose to 200K, still below expectations, while continuing claims slipped to 1.77M, the lowest level since 2024. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 115K in April, ahead of estimates, and March payrolls were revised higher to 185K. The unemployment rate held at 4.3%, although labor force participation fell to its lowest level since October 2021. Layoff announcements rose sequentially in April, with technology companies accounting for the largest share, often citing AI-related reductions.
Construction spending rebounded in March, factory orders rose more than expected, and demand for electronic products remained tied to the build-out of AI infrastructure. Despite the above, consumer sentiment fell to a record low in early May. Treasury yields declined slightly, the 10-year finished at 4.36%, amid lower oil prices and the Treasury Department's quarterly refunding announcement which showed steady borrowing needs.
Oil markets were focused on the SoH and brief clashes between U.S. and Iranian forces, but WTI crude ended lower amid Washington's latest peace proposal. Gold was higher supported by safe-haven demand and China's largest reported monthly purchase in more than a year. Silver and copper advanced, and the USD weakened slightly. The yen was stronger amid signs of potential intervention.

International Equity Market Summary
In Europe, the STOXX Europe 600 finished with modest gains, while Germany's DAX rose 0.2%, Italy's FTSE MIB gained 2.2%, France's CAC 40 was little changed, and the UK's FTSE 100 fell 1.3%. Sentiment improved early in the week on better Middle East headlines and solid corporate earnings but weakened later after President Trump threatened higher tariffs on the EU if the bloc did not reduce tariffs on U.S. goods to zero. Economic data were mixed as ECB officials signaled the possibility of a June rate increase. Eurozone producer prices rose at the fastest monthly pace since 2022, German factory orders jumped 5.0%, and the UK Composite PMI rose to 52.6.
Japanese markets rallied during a holiday-shortened week as the Nikkei 225 surged 5.4% to a record high, while the TOPIX gained 2.7%, led by technology and semiconductor shares and AI demand optimism. Falling oil prices helped ease concerns about Japan's energy-import burden, and the 10-year JGB yield declined to 2.48% from 2.50%. The yen was volatile amid speculation about potential intervention but ended the week little changed versus the USD. Wage data were mixed but encouraging from a policy perspective as inflation-adjusted wages rose 1.0% y/y in March, marking the first three-month streak of real wage gains since 2021.
Chinese equities advanced after markets reopened following the May 1–5 holiday. The CSI 300 rose 1.3% and the Shanghai Composite gained 1.7% led by technology and select consumer-related shares. A private-sector survey showed services activity expanding faster than expected, with the China General Services PMI rising to 52.6. Markets were also supported by preparations for the May 14–15 Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 2.4%.

Chart of the Week — 5/11/26
After a sharp downturn starting in early '22, RIOT has been consolidating with prices in a channel between the high single digits and high teens. Recently, RIOT has moved above a long time resistance area, suggesting further gains are ahead.

The Week Ahead
Investors begin the week asking whether ongoing momentum in the AI trade can continue to overshadow higher oil prices and a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East. Earnings reports shift from large cap — only 11 SPX firms are scheduled to report — to the R2K where ~15% of companies will report.
Given the strong advance in technology last week, CSCO (Wed) and AMAT (Thur) will be focus names for the latest on enterprise spending trends while consumer names UA, DDS and YETI will hope to highlight consumer resilience.
Economic data including the CPI (Tues) and PPI (Wed) will be watched for signs of inflation picking up led by higher energy prices in headline reports. CPI core reports last month (March) were a touch light of estimates at 2.6%, as higher apparel prices offset lower used car/truck prices. Likewise, the PPI fell short of mid-4% expectations, coming in at 4%, while the core rose 3.6%, matching the highest level over the past three years.
Retail sales (Thur) is expected to remain robust in the 4% range where it has been for the better part of '24 and '25. President Trump meets with China's Xi later in the week with Middle East events and trade matters, including agriculture and rare earths, likely the major focus points.
