Welcome back to Weekly Wrap on rawfin.tv. I'm your host ready to dissect this week's market action. It was a period of cautious optimism yet underlying fears persist. Our Fear Greed Index sits firmly in 'Fear' territory at 39. Let's review the scoreboard. The S P 500 showed resilience climbing 0.71 to 7 158.89. NASDAQ led the charge higher. It surged an impressive 1.52 closing at 24 810.82. However the Dow Jones edged down 0.25 to 49 189.34. In crypto Bitcoin dipped slightly down 0.20 to 77 714. The total market cap holds strong at 2.68 trillion. Now for this week's standout movers. Our top gainer was Stable ticker STABLE. This crypto asset surged an impressive 9.7 in 24 hours. It reached 0.0340 capturing significant attention. On the downside MORPHO faced headwinds. It dropped 2.7 marking it as our biggest percentage loser. The reasons for these sharp moves often reflect shifting sentiment. The dominant narrative this week was undeniably geopolitical. Global tensions significantly impacted energy markets. News broke of Brent Crude surging past 100 a barrel. This surge followed reports of Iran attacks. Declining US inventories also fueled the price spike. A crucial development was Trump's extension of the Iran truce. This offered a glimmer of market relief. Yet the specter of an 'energy shock' looms large. ECB President Lagarde specifically warned of this impact. Even Japan's core inflation saw a rise. This was largely pressured by these escalating energy costs. Looking ahead vigilance remains key for investors. Geopolitical developments especially in the Middle East will dominate headlines. Central bank commentary will be scrutinized. We await further signals from the ECB on potential rate cuts. Watch for fresh inflation data globally. These reports could sway monetary policy decisions. On the corporate front the successful X-Energy IPO is a benchmark. Amazon-backed it raised over 1 billion. This success could spur more new listings. Stay informed on these crucial market drivers.
