U.S. equity markets rallied on Monday, with major indexes nearing record highs. The S&P 500 rose 1.1 %, the Dow added roughly 515 points (about 1.1 %), and the Nasdaq advanced approximately 1.4 %, as tech giants, including Apple Inc., jumped nearly 4 % after strong iPhone results.
Investor sentiment was bolstered by a combination of easing trade-tension fears, encouraging corporate earnings, and a dip in Treasury yields (the 10-year yield stood near 3.98 %). With billions of dollars expected in corporate reports upcoming this week, including major names such as Tesla Inc., Netflix Inc., and Procter & Gamble Co., markets appear to be riding a wave of optimism.
Heading into Tuesday, sentiment remains cautiously positive — but not without caveats. Key metrics to watch include upcoming inflation data and the next wave of earnings releases, both of which could materially alter the trajectory. Analysts note that while the rally is gaining momentum, elevated valuations and structural risks (including the ongoing government shutdown and trade uncertainty) could temper the advance.
Put simply: If earnings broadly beat expectations and inflation remains tame, stocks could extend gains Tuesday and beyond. But any signs of weakness — either from corporate guidance or macroeconomic surprises — may invite profit-taking or volatility. With the backdrop set, all eyes are on the rhythm of data and disclosures to decide whether the labor-of momentum keeps paying off.
