In a stunning double-black-swan event, Wall Street was rattled by escalating military tensions in the Middle East and a sharp contraction in the U.S. labor market, resulting in a significant spike in energy prices. Major stock indices suffered steep weekly declines as mounting fears of stagflation shifted investor sentiment from optimistic growth to a cautious, risk-averse posture. This shift follows a troubling loss of over 90,000 jobs, further compounded by rising inflation and ongoing supply chain disruptions. As the market braces for the impact, eyes will be on upcoming inflation reports and consumer sentiment surveys that will shape the economic outlook.-----* S&P //* 3/02 M. 6,881.62 /* 3/03 T. 6,816.63 /* 3/04 W. 6,869.50 /* 3/05 T. 6,830.71 /* 3/06 F. 6,740.05 /--* Nasdaq //* 3/02 M. 22,748.86 /* 3/03 T. 22,516.69 /* 3/04 W. 22,807.48 /* 3/05 T. 22,748.99 /* 3/06 F. 22,387.68 /--* DJI //* 3/02 M. 48,904.78 /* 3/03 T. 48,501.27 /* 3/04 W. 48,739.41 /* 3/05 T. 47,954.74 /* 3/06 F. 47,501.55 /-----* 2-yr T Bond //* 3/02 M. 3.487 /* 3/03 T. 3.500 /* 3/04 W. 3.543 /* 3/05 T. 3.599 /* 3/06 F. 3.556 /--* 10-yr T Bond //* 3/02 M. 4.052 /* 3/03 T. 4.057 /* 3/04 W. 4.082 /* 3/05 T. 4.146 /* 3/06 F. 4.132 /-----* S&P ROC //* 3/02 M. 0.040 /* 3/03 T. -0.944 /* 3/04 W. 0.776 /* 3/05 T. -0.565 /* 3/06 F. -1.327 /--* VIX //* 3/02 M. 21.44 /* 3/03 T. 23.57 /* 3/04 W. 21.15 /* 3/05 T. 23.75 /* 3/06 F. 29.49 /--* MOVE //* 3/02 M. 73.21 /* 3/03 T. 77.75 /* 3/04 W. 70.03 /* 3/05 T. 74.53 /* 3/06 F. 81.26 /--* Shiller PE //* 3/03 T. 39.66 /* 3/04 W. 39.94 /* 3/05 T. 39.71 /* 3/06 F. 39.18 /-----* BCOM //* 3/02 M. 123.8087 /* 3/03 T. 124.7281 /* 3/04 W. 124.5732 /* 3/05 T. 126.7903 /* 3/06 F. 131.4871 /--* BCOMENTR //* 3/02 M. 77.2307 /* 3/03 T. 80.9939 /* 3/04 W. 80.0075 /* 3/05 T. 84.4476 /* 3/06 F. 90.4505 /--* BCOMINTR //* 3/02 M. 430.96 /* 3/03 T. 428.11 /* 3/04 W. 436.30 /* 3/05 T. 428.49 /* 3/06 F. 436.69 /--* SPGSAG //* 3/02 M. 352.35 /* 3/03 T. 352.51 /* 3/04 W. 351.11 /* 3/05 T. 356.71 /* 3/06 F. 366.26 /--* SPGSPM //* 3/02 M. 7,142.87 /* 3/03 T. 6,868.84 /* 3/04 W. 6,879.12 /* 3/05 T. 6,803.18 /* 3/06 F. 6,927.61 /-----* WTI Crude Oil. //* 3/02 M. 71.23 /* 3/03 T. 74.56 /* 3/04 W. 74.66 /* 3/05 T. 81.01 /* 3/06 F. 90.90 /--* HH Natural Gas //* 3/02 M. 2.960 /* 3/03 T. 3.054 /* 3/04 W. 2.917 /* 3/05 T. 3.003 /* 3/06 F. 3.186 /-----* Key Economic Events //* 3/11 W.

This week saw heightened market volatility as technology stocks faced significant selling pressure amidst concerns over AI disruption and elevated valuations. The Dow Jones initially surged but retreated sharply, with mixed economic indicators, a strong labor data clashing with weak retail sales and plummeting housing demand.

This week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eclipsed 50,000 points, fueled by a landmark trade agreement between the U.S. and India. However, other indexes, particularly in the tech sector, exhibit significant volatility driven by heavy AI investments. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency faces a troubling decline, labeled a "death spiral," while Treasury yields fall amid disappointing labor data, and crude oil prices drop amid shifting U.S.-Iran relations.

This week on Wall Street Week, we examine a tumultuous trading landscape in late January 2026, sparked by the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair, which bolstered the dollar and precipitated a historic decline in gold and silver prices. Equity markets struggled with mixed corporate earnings reports, most notably a significant drop in Microsoft, overshadowing gains from technology leaders like Meta. Compounding the volatility, rising crude oil prices emerged from heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and domestic supply chain disruptions due to severe winter weather. Overall, investor sentiment appears to be shifting from a phase of aggressive growth optimism to a more cautious and defensive outlook.|-----|* S&P. 01/26 M. 6,950.23 | 01/27 T. 6,978.60 |01/28 W. 6,978.03 |01/29 T. 6,969.01 |01/30 F. 6,939.03 ||---|* Nasdaq.01/26 M. 23,601.36 |01/27 T. 23,817.10 |01/28 W. 23,857.45 |01/29 T. 23,685.12 |01/30 F. 23,461.82 ||---|* DJI. 01/26 M. 49,412.40 |01/27 T. 49,003.41 |01/28 W. 49,015.60 |01/29 T. 49,071.56 |01/30 F. 48,892.47 ||---|* 2-yr T Bond %.01/26 M. 3.590 |01/27 T. 3.569 |01/28 W. 3.581 |01/29 T. 3.551 |01/30 F. 3.527 ||---|* 10-yr T Bond %.01/26 M. 4.211 | 01/27 T. 4.223 |01/28 W. 4.251 |01/29 T. 4.227 |01/30 F. 4.241 ||-----|* S&P ROC %.01/26 M. 0.501 |01/27 T. 0.408 |01/28 W. -0.008 |01/29 T. -0.129 |01/30 F. -0.430 ||---|* VIX.01/26 M. 16.15 |01/27 T. 16.35 |01/28 W. 16.35 |01/29 T. 16.88 |01/30 F. 17.44 ||---|* Shiller PE.01/26 M. 40.92 |01/27 T. 41.03 |01/28 W. 41.02 |01/29 T. 40.94 |01/30 F. 40.81 ||-----|* BCOMENTR. 01/26 M. 70.9364 |01/27 T. 71.7526 |01/28 W. 72.0158 |01/29 T. 74.5063 |01/30 F. 77.0174 ||---|* BCOMINTR.01/26 M. 439.97 | 01/27 T. 434.69 |01/28 W. 438.81 |01/29 T. 446.93 |01/30 F. 434.75 ||---|* SPGSAG.01/26 M. 347.86 |01/27 T. 349.94 |01/28 W. 349.90 |01/29 T. 349.97 |01/30 F. 345.84 ||---|* SPGSPM.01/26 M. 7,172.79 | 01/27 T. 7,079.69 |01/28 W. 7,412.24 |01/29 T. 7,438.08 |01/30 F. 6,372.99 ||-----|* WTI Crude Oil.01/26 M. 60.63 |01/27 T. 62.39 |01/28 W. 63.21 |01/29 T. 65.42 |01/30 F. 65.21 ||-----|* Key Earnings Releases.* 02/02 M.
