S&P 500 – Records on AI, While Everything Else Gets Ignored

The S&P 500 reached new highs, but strip away a handful of AI names and the rally thins fast. Meanwhile, the Iran conflict drags on, oil is climbing, and inflation hit a three-year high. Rate hikes are back in the discussion. This week's jobs report could tip sentiment either way. For a market at record levels with narrow leadership, both outcomes carry risk.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at new record highs to start the week, and markets in Asia did the same. One thing is doing the work: AI stocks. Take out a handful of big tech names, and the rally looks far less impressive.

Meanwhile, the Iran war still has no deal, oil is drifting back up, and inflation just hit a three-year high. A month ago, traders argued about rate cuts; now a rate hike is back on the table.

This kind of rally can run for a while. The problem is that it depends on one story. If the mood on AI turns, there's not much else underneath to hold prices up.

The jobs report this week is the next test. A strong number feeds the rate-hike worry. A weak one raises fears about the economy. For a market sitting this high, both carry more risk down than room up.

S&P 500 key levels:

  • Resistance 7,550, then 7,600.
  • Support 7,400, then 7,300.

The euro has spread its wings

The euro is rising as oil and the dollar fall: eurozone inflation at 4% raises the odds of an ECB rate hike, while a cooling US economy gives the Fed a reason not to rush.
