Eric Criscuolo, NYSE Market Strategist, highlights a week where mega cap tech snapped back into leadership after small caps’ strong run faded. A quiet Fed meeting kept rates steady and shifted attention to earnings, where Meta and IBM surged on AI strength while Microsoft slumped on lofty expectations. Travel, leisure, and select industrial names outperformed as software and healthcare lagged. Metals stole the spotlight with extreme volatility, led by gold’s dramatic intraday swing, while crypto struggled to gain traction. With a busy earnings slate and key labor data ahead, markets move into next week with momentum reshuffling once again.
