Michael Reinking, NYSE Senior Market Strategist, recaps a volatile holiday‑shortened week marked by easing inflation and shifting market tone. Softer CPI readings pushed yields to multi‑month lows, while the S&P 500 churned between key moving averages amid options‑driven swings.

Economic data remained resilient, highlighted by strong capital goods orders and lower jobless claims. With GDP, PMIs, and major tech earnings on deck, investors head into next week cautiously optimistic but alert to global risks.
