Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, reviews a pivotal week in which the S&P 500 broke above its May-July trading range near 7,600, driven by strong Q2 earnings, easing oil prices, and mispositioning in tech that sparked a broad-based rally. Hyperscalers led the charge as investors embraced the ongoing shortage of compute capacity, while semiconductors and optical stocks saw volatile swings amid eye-popping growth figures and sky-high expectations. Looking ahead, Friday's jobs report and next week's inflation prints take center stage, with reports suggesting Fed Chair Warsh could support a September rate hike should the data come in hot.
