Last week felt like a relief rally to me, with U.S. markets rebounding strongly as tensions eased and oil prices dropped. While the price action looks bullish, I’m still cautious— inflation remains above target, growth was revised lower, and sentiment is weakening, which signals a mixed macro backdrop.

I’m seeing AI and semiconductors continue to lead, with names like $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ and $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ benefiting from strong chip demand, while energy stocks lagged due to falling oil. This tells me the rally is more about rotation and sentiment rather than a broad-based recovery.

Looking ahead, I’m focused on upcoming earnings, especially banks and key tech names. For me, it’s about whether results can support this rally—if not, volatility could return quickly.

Big Banks, Big Bar Too: Beat and Fade This Earnings Season?
Q1 earnings season is kicking off with big banks expected to post solid results, especially Citi, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley, while stronger trading, deal fees, and net interest income are supporting the setup. But that also creates the tension: if numbers come in “good,” is there still enough upside left, or has the market already priced in a clean quarter? Which matters more here — the actual beat, or 2026 guidance from management? If the banks deliver solid Q1 results, do you chase the group, or wait for a post-earnings fade?
