Stocks had a choppy but ultimately upbeat first week of February, with early jitters around big-tech spending giving way to a strong rebound into Friday. The headline moment came late in the week as the Dow pushed through 50,000 for the first time, helped by broader participation beyond mega-cap tech and a solid bounce in semiconductors. The tone by the close was simple: risk appetite is still there, even if nerves show up intraday.
On the economic front, it was a survey-heavy week with mixed but mostly constructive signals. ISM manufacturing popped back into expansion territory for the first time in a year, while ISM services stayed firmly in growth mode, though price pressures remain sticky. Labor data pointed to gradual cooling rather than a cliff. ADP private payrolls came in light, job openings fell to their lowest level in more than five years, and consumer sentiment ticked modestly higher. Nothing screamed recession, but nothing screamed overheating either.
Looking ahead to next week, the calendar gets much more market-moving. We’ll get the Employment Cost Index and import and export prices on Tuesday, the January jobs report on Wednesday, existing-home sales on Thursday, and then the main event on Friday with January CPI and real earnings. No market holidays next week, which means traders won’t have anywhere to hide if inflation or jobs surprise. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.
