Market Rally Continues! Fed Pause Hopes, Oil Spike & Earnings Season Begins

Global markets finished higher as cooling U.S. inflation data and strong corporate earnings boosted investor confidence, even as geopolitical tensions kept energy markets on edge. Here's what traders need to know: 📈 U.S. and European stocks advanced despite weakness in semiconductor shares. 🏦 Fed rate pause expectations strengthened after softer U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data. 🇨🇦 The Bank of Canada held interest rates steady at 2.25%. 🛢️ Oil climbed to a one-month high as escalating U.S.–Iran tensions and renewed concerns over the Strait of Hormuz fuelled fears of supply disruptions. ⚠️ Ongoing attacks on Russian energy infrastructure also added upward pressure to crude prices. On the corporate front: • Morgan Stanley and BlackRock delivered strong earnings. • Apple received approval for new AI initiatives in China. • Investors continue to watch reports of a potential CoreWeave IPO. • Attention now turns to earnings from Netflix, TSMC, and U.S. Bancorp, which could shape sentiment across technology, semiconductors, and financials. With geopolitical risks rising and earnings season accelerating, traders should prepare for increased market volatility.
