Extremely Difficult Week for Stocks Ends With Dow Jones All-Time High

What a week it has been. The market managed to close at all-time highs on the Dow Jones Industrial Average despite enduring significant volatility driven by tariff fears, mixed earnings, and shifting rate expectations.

The key takeaway is resilience. Despite multiple headwinds, buyers continue to emerge on pullbacks, supporting the broader uptrend that has been in place since the October 2023 lows.

Looking ahead to next week, we have several catalysts on the calendar including CPI data, multiple Fed speakers, and a fresh batch of corporate earnings from the consumer staples and healthcare sectors.
