The S&P 500 closed Friday at 6,816.89, posting a 3.56% weekly gain amid choppy trading, driven by softer-than-expected March 2026 CPI data showing core inflation up just 0.2% and unemployment easing to 4.3%, reinforcing trader consensus for Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year despite the fed funds target holding at 3.50%-3.75%. Year-to-date declines of around 4% reflect elevated valuations from January's 7,002 peak and lingering Middle East tensions curbing risk appetite. Key catalysts ahead include the April 28-29 FOMC meeting, April CPI release on May 12, Q1 earnings reports, and the June 16-17 policy session with updated dot plot, where markets price potential 25-basis-point easing amid steady GDP growth expectations.
