Why it matters

The US stock market ended its first week of 2026 on a high note, with the Dow and S&P 500 reaching new records, while the Nasdaq also surged. The strong gains were driven by positive payrolls data, which reinforced the view that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates. The focus has now shifted to a potential Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.
