Hi All - Happy Saturday and welcome back to Street Tweets from The Street Sheet. 

I wish Pam Bondi was in charge of the disciplinary department at my elementary school.

She totally would have let me keep that shadowless Charizard card I got in an illicit Pokémon trade — and then I wouldn’t have to be thinking about the stock market at all.

Market Review:

Stocks were largely unchanged on Friday, but it made for a strong week, as investors digested a slew of earnings, along with global trade and inflation updates.

The Dow dropped 101 points (0.2%), while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained modestly. Despite a 0.9% drop in January retail sales, worse than expected, the broader market finished the week in the green, with the S&P 500 up 1.6%, the Dow up 0.7%, and the Nasdaq up 2.5%.

The positive sentiment followed President Trump’s reciprocal tariff proposal, which was less severe than many expected. The producer and consumer price index reports also calmed concerns, showing persistent inflation, but no major spikes.

Market Preview:

Next week on Wall Street, market attention will be focused on a series of economic reports and speeches from Federal Reserve officials.

On Monday, markets will be closed for President’s Day, but several Fed members will speak later in the day.

On Tuesday, the Empire State manufacturing survey and home builder confidence index for February will be released, along with more Fed Speak.

Wednesday, the central bank will be back in focus with the release of the January FOMC meeting minutes. We’ll also get January’s housing starts and building permits.

On Thursday, initial jobless claims and the US leading economic indicators for January are due.

Finally, the February flash PMIs for services and manufacturing will close out the week. January’s existing home sales and February’s consumer sentiment data are also due Friday.

Well, you are still gambling on one thing, though…

Having time to spend those gains. 😬

I am of two minds here.

On one hand, it seems pretty rich for the EU to threaten retaliatory tariffs when France, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands already have a higher average than we do.

On the other, should we really be taking our economic policy cues from India? 🤔

And here I was thinking bubbles would look spherical.

RemindMe! to make the same chart in a decade, but over a wider period of time, and tracking total job postings across all industries.

If AI continues at its current trajectory, it might look mighty similar…
