With investors digesting economic data and global trade developments, attention now shifts to the week ahead, where key earnings reports and macroeconomic events could set the tone for market direction.

Wall Street rebounded after two weeks of losses. Investor sentiment improved despite geopolitical and inflation concerns.

The week also saw Trump announce a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports. However, the lack of immediate enforcement helped ease market fears. Inflation data also influenced sentiment, with a hotter-than-expected consumer report midweek offset by a softer producer inflation reading on Thursday.
