U.S. equities finished last week under pressure as a sharp reversal in technology stocks outweighed encouraging inflation data and generally supportive early earnings reports.

People spend, save, and plan their lives in different ways, and not every bank is a good partner for every individual. So how do you choose the best bank for your lifestyle?

U.S. equities finished the week broadly higher, though the gains masked a volatile ride driven by renewed hostilities in the Middle East. The Nasdaq Composite led with a 1.74% gain, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.23%.

U.S. stocks moved higher in last week’s holiday-shortened trading, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 1.97%, the S&P 500 rising 1.76%, and the Nasdaq Composite advancing 2.12%. The Russell 2000 declined 0.46%, though small caps had participated strongly in the broader second quarter rally.

Markets ended the week with two familiar themes back in focus: the durability of the AI investment boom and the path of interest rates. Geopolitics took more of a backseat as oil prices fell back toward levels seen before the Iran War, which should be a constructive development for consumers and inflation.
