Warsh’s first week as Fed Chair, Jan 2027 hike odds jump from 9% to 79%, NVDA’s blowout fails to rally, and Friday’s PCE could shift the timeline.

Markets enter the week facing a new problem: the rally is still alive, but the foundation underneath it is getting weaker. After months of AI-driven momentum pushed indexes toward record highs, cracks are beginning to show beneath the surface. Oil remains elevated, bond yields are climbing, inflation is reaccelerating, and market breadth continues to narrow.

May the fourth be with you. Markets enter the week caught between two forces: a powerful tech-led rally and a still-unresolved energy shock. After closing out April with strong gains, equities are holding near highs — but oil remains elevated, geopolitical risk persists, and labor data now takes center stage. This is shaping up to

After snapping a five-week losing streak, equities are attempting to stabilize — but volatility remains elevated, oil is still high, and a packed inflation calendar could quickly shift sentiment. This is shaping up to be another headline-driven week, where macro data

Markets open a holiday-shortened week attempting to stabilize after one of the sharpest selloffs of the year — but the backdrop hasn’t improved. Oil remains above $100, volatility is elevated, and geopolitical headlines continue to dictate direction. The bounce to start the week looks more like positioning and relief than a true shift in trend.

Markets enter the final full week of March still anchored to one dominant driver: the Iran conflict and its impact on oil, inflation, and policy expectations. Last week’s FOMC decision removed some uncertainty, but it didn’t resolve the bigger issue — how long elevated energy prices persist and how deeply they feed into the broader
