Highlights and Lowlights

Markets climbed to modest new highs with the majority of companies beating earnings expectations and a better-than-expected monthly jobs report. All three major US stock indices registered gains this week: the SPX500 and the DJ30 slightly beat previous record highs, climbing 1% and 0.8% respectively. The NSDQ100 was also up, registering a 1.1% gain.

Oil prices dropped around 8% for the biggest weekly decline in five months, as concerns rose that travel restrictions to fight the spread of the Delta variant could result in lower demand. 

What’s in Store for the Week?

Investors can look forward to another busy week of earnings, including reports from eBay, Nio, Disney and Airbnb. 

Key economic releases in the coming week, including the Consumer Price Index, Consumer Sentiment Index, Producer Price Index, and Mortgage Applications reports, will provide crucial insights into the state of the US economy and the housing market.
