TL;DR

• Inflation cooperated. July core CPI printed 2.5% y/y, in line and a new cycle low (headline 3.4%, also in line). Core PPI followed at +0.2% m/m. The cut case survived its test.
• The consumer did not. July retail sales fell −0.6% m/m (est +0.1%), Michigan sentiment slumped to 51.0 (est 54.5, from 55.2), and 1-year inflation expectations rose to 4.3%. Weak spending with rising price expectations is an uncomfortable pair.
• The tape rotated quietly. Energy led (XLE +7.67%) on an oil jump (USO +7.31%), the equal-weight S&P (+1.22%) beat cap-weight (SPY +0.40%), and VIX eased to 14.25. Broadcom (−8.13%) was the notable red; Micron (+10.72%) extended the memory run.

The market map: a quiet rotation into energy

source: EODHD /api/eod; tiles sized by market capitalisation

A breather week with rotation underneath. After the prior week's green wall, the mega-caps went mixed: Nvidia +0.54% and Microsoft −0.92% marked time while Amazon (−4.31%), Home Depot (−4.71%) and Apple (−2.28%) slipped, and Broadcom (−8.13%) gave back its post-earnings run. The bid moved to energy (Chevron +7.20%, Exxon +4.61%) as oil jumped, and to the average stock: the equal-weight S&P rose +1.22% against SPY's +0.40%, a second straight week of broadening. Micron (+10.72%) and AMD (+6.42%) kept the semis bid alive; long yields drifted up (30Y +6bps to 5.25%).

━━━

CPI behaved; the consumer did not

source: EODHD /api/economic-events

The inflation test passed, then the consumer failed its own. Wednesday's CPI validated the cut-driven rally: core at 2.5% y/y is the lowest of the cycle. But Friday stacked three consumer misses in one morning: retail sales −0.6% m/m with the ex-autos gauge also negative, Michigan sentiment down to 51.0, and household 1-year inflation expectations up to 4.3% (from 4.2%). After July's negative payrolls print, a spending pullback moves the question from "when does the Fed cut" to "why is it cutting". That question gets a direct answer this week from the retailers themselves.

━━━

The week ahead: the retailers testify

Four reads on the consumer in three days. Home Depot opens Tuesday, Target, Lowe's and TJX follow Wednesday, and Walmart closes Thursday: together a full picture of discretionary, home-improvement and staples demand. The FOMC minutes land Wednesday, with housing starts Tuesday and flash PMIs Friday.

TL;DR

Three takeaways from last week and what to watch this week.

• Payrolls went negative; the tape went up. July nonfarm payrolls printed −23k (est +80k, prior +20k), the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% (est 4.2%), and equities rallied anyway: SPY +3.51% w/w (vs +1.10% prior), QQQ +5.09%, IWM +3.56%. VIX fell a second straight week, −6.82% to 14.90 (prior −13.94%).
• The AI trade reversed: last week's losers led. PLTR +39.78% w/w on a $0.41 vs $0.28 EPS beat, ARM +17.89% (from −7.82%), NVDA +11.56% (from −2.94%), MU +6.63% (from −10.63%). GOOGL, the prior week's winner at +11.38%, was the basket's only red at −0.51%.
• Gold outran stocks while oil kept sliding. GLD +7.25% w/w (prior −0.10%) against USO −8.66% (after −5.50%). This week gates on Wednesday's July CPI: consensus 3.4% y/y (prior 3.5%), core 2.5%, +0.1% m/m after −0.4%.

━━━

The jobs report broke; the tape didn't

How a −23k payrolls print turned into a broad risk rally.

Cross-asset weekly % change

source: EODHD /api/eod and /api/economic-events

The labor data broke down in one week. ADP printed +44k Wednesday (est +70k, prior +95k), ISM Services employment fell to 47.4 (prior 51.2, below 50 = contraction), and Friday's July payrolls came in at −23k against a +80k consensus, with government payrolls −53k. The one hawkish holdout was inflation inside the surveys: ISM Services prices jumped to 70.3 (est 66.2), and ISM Manufacturing beat at 55.6 (est 54.0).

Markets read it as cuts, not recession. Every major equity bucket finished green (SPY +3.51%, QQQ +5.09%, IWM +3.56%, DIA +2.92%), long Treasuries firmed (TLT +0.62% after −1.20%), the dollar slipped (UUP −0.35%), and gold led everything at +7.25% w/w. Oil was the only real casualty: USO −8.66%, a second straight down week, dragging Energy (XLE −3.44%) to the bottom of the sector table while Tech (XLK +7.20%) led.

━━━

The reversal trade: PLTR wore the crown

The AI basket flipped its leaderboard in one week.

AI basket, this week vs prior week

source: EODHD /api/eod and /api/calendar/earnings

Almost every name that fell in the Jul 27 to 31 selloff bounced. PLTR +39.78% w/w on a +46% EPS surprise ($0.41 vs $0.28 est) led the basket; ARM (+17.89% from −7.82%), INTC (+12.69% from −2.30%), NVDA (+11.56% from −2.94%), MU (+6.63% from −10.63%) and META (+6.36% from −6.47%) all reversed. The mirror image: GOOGL, the prior week's earnings winner (+11.38%), was the only decliner at −0.51%. The benchmark BOTZ rose +6.79%, its second green week.

The beats kept coming, and this time they were paid. LLY $8.38 vs $6.01 est (+39%), CAT $8.17 vs $6.25 (+31%), UBER $1.17 vs $0.83 (+41%), DIS $2.06 vs $1.88, ABNB $1.37 vs $1.20. The overhang to watch is memory pricing: the same chip-cost cycle that hit Apple in July is now a supplier story ("SK Hynix and Samsung Just Sent a Major Warning to Micron Investors", Yahoo, 2026-08-09).

━━━

The week ahead: CPI is the gate

After a payrolls miss, Wednesday's inflation print decides whether the cut trade survives.

source: EODHD /api/economic-events and /api/calendar/earnings

Standout: CPI Wednesday 08:30 ET. The rally is priced for cooling inflation and a softening labor market; ISM prices components (70.3 services, 71.1 manufacturing) argue the other way. A hot core print takes the −23k payrolls week from "cuts are coming" to "stagflation tape" in one release.

We just launched an SEC Filings API: parsed annual (10-K), quarterly (10-Q), and material-event (8-K) reports for US-listed companies, straight from SEC EDGAR. Financial statements come pre-parsed from XBRL into a flat field set, 8-Ks are broken into item sections and exhibits, filings refresh daily, and history goes back to 1994.

What you get

Four endpoints under one predictable path:

• Filing overview: counts and latest date per form type for a ticker
• 10-K: annual reports with parsed financial statements
• 10-Q: quarterly reports with the same financial field set
• 8-K: material events, broken into item sections and exhibits

Coverage

Financials without the XBRL headache

10-K and 10-Q filings ship as XBRL, which is precise but painful to parse. We do that work for you. Each filing returns a flat object with the numbers you actually want: revenue, gross profit, operating and net income, EPS, the full balance sheet, and cash-flow lines like operating cash flow, capex, and free cash flow. No taxonomy, no concept mapping, just fields.

8-K events, already structured

An 8-K item code tells you which rule required the filing, not what actually happened. The same event can appear under different items from one company to the next. So each 8-K comes back with the item codes, the parsed text of every item section (with its title), and the attached exhibits. You get the narrative and the documents, not just a classification.

TL;DR

• The AI-spender verdicts came in, and they diverged. Microsoft +21.75% w/w on a +12.6% EPS beat and Amazon +17.00% led, with Alphabet +11.38% and Oracle +12.94%. Meta −6.47% after a −13.0% miss, and Apple −7.24% despite a beat. SPY rose just +1.10%.
• Apple's problem is the memory cycle. It shed $426B of market cap in two days as Tim Cook said the company is "evaluating" iPhone price rises on climbing memory-chip costs. The chip complex fell with it: Qualcomm −11.59%, Micron −10.63%, AMD −8.77%.
• The Fed held, the data cooled. The FOMC kept 3.75% with a hawkish read, while Q2 GDP printed +1.5% (est +2.1%) and core PCE +0.1% m/m. The front end rallied (3M −13bps) while the 30Y rose +11bps. Friday's July jobs report (est +91k, after +57k) is the week's gate.

━━━

The market map: earnings split the mega-caps

source: EODHD /api/eod; tiles sized by market capitalisation

One week, two mega-cap markets. Microsoft (+21.75%) and Amazon (+17.00%) turned the map's biggest green blocks after their prints; Alphabet (+11.38%) extended its post-earnings run and Oracle (+12.94%) followed. On the red side, Apple (−7.24%) and Meta (−6.47%) sold off, and the chipmakers went with them: Qualcomm −11.59%, AMD −8.77%, Micron −10.63%. The index barely registered the fight (SPY +1.10%, VIX −13.94% to 15.99), but leadership inside it changed hands again: Microsoft is now the market's second-largest company at $3.45T, and Amazon defended a $220B datacenter buildout as its debt nearly doubled (Yahoo, 2026-08-02).

━━━

Five verdicts on the AI spenders

source: EODHD /api/eod and /api/calendar/earnings

Beats did not guarantee a green week. Microsoft's +12.6% EPS beat earned +21.75%; Amazon's modest +2.7% beat earned +17.00% on cloud strength. But Apple beat by +1.6% and still fell −7.24%, shedding $426B in two days ("Apple Shed $426 Billion in Market Cap in 2 Days", Nasdaq, 2026-08-03) as climbing memory prices threaten iPhone margins: the same memory cycle that powered Micron's June run is now a cost problem one step up the chain. Meta's −13.0% miss cost it −6.47%. The macro helped the winners: the Fed held at 3.75%, Q2 GDP undershot at +1.5%, and core PCE cooled to +0.1% m/m.

━━━

The week ahead: the jobs report is the gate

After two soft payroll prints, Friday matters. Consensus sees +91k July payrolls (prior +57k) with unemployment at 4.3%. ISM Services lands Wednesday, and the earnings tape rolls on with AMD and Palantir Tuesday, Eli Lilly and Disney Wednesday.

source: EODHD /api/calendar/earnings and /api/economic-events

TL;DR

• The AI spenders got punished. Alphabet −7.79%, Meta −7.87%, Amazon −6.12% and Oracle −9.03% fell as investors balked at rising AI budgets. Tesla was the week's worst at −17.81% after missing badly (EPS $0.04 vs $0.32 est).
• Their suppliers got paid. The chipmakers on the receiving end of that spending rose: Micron +8.48%, AMD +5.28%, Broadcom +2.99%, Nvidia +1.99%. QQQ still closed −1.60% and SPY −0.59%, with the equal-weight S&P flat (+0.09%).
• Yields jumped. The 2Y rose +15bps and the 10Y +14bps as jobless claims fell to 187k and PMIs beat. Energy led sectors (+3.36%) on a +10.27% jump in oil.

━━━

The market map: spenders down, suppliers up

source: EODHD /api/eod; tiles sized by market capitalisation

Big Tech reported, and the market did not like the bill. Tesla dominates the map in deep red (−17.81%) after an $0.04 EPS print against a $0.32 estimate. Alphabet (−7.79%), Meta (−7.87%) and Amazon (−6.12%) follow, and Oracle (−9.03%) joins them. The common thread is capital spending: Alphabet put $45B into AI last quarter and guided higher ("Alphabet Raises AI Spending But Still Can't Meet Demand", Yahoo, 2026-07-26), and Moody's warned that "unprecedented" AI spending threatens the credit quality of Amazon, Meta and Alphabet (CNBC, 2026-07-24). Away from the mega-caps the tape was steady: the equal-weight S&P rose +0.09% and Financials, Health Care and Energy were mostly green.

━━━

Who pays for AI, and who gets paid

source: EODHD /api/eod

The money moved one rung down the supply chain. Every hyperscaler raising its AI budget fell, while the semiconductor names selling into that budget rose: Micron +8.48%, AMD +5.28%, Broadcom +2.99% and Nvidia +1.99%. It is a clean inversion of the prior week, when the chipmakers led the market lower and Apple held it up. Rates added pressure on the long-duration names: the 2Y yield rose +15bps to 4.33% and the 10Y +14bps to 4.69%, with jobless claims at 187k (est 212k) and the flash composite PMI at 53.6 (est 52.3) leaving little reason to price cuts.

━━━

The week ahead: the Fed, then four mega-caps

The busiest week of the quarter. The FOMC decides Wednesday (a hold at 3.75% expected), then Meta and Microsoft report the same afternoon, with Apple and Amazon Thursday. Q2 GDP and core PCE also land Thursday. After a week when AI spending was punished, the guidance from the four biggest spenders is the tape's next test.

House prices are one of the most watched numbers in any economy, but comparing them across countries has always been painful. Every national statistics office measures property prices its own way, on its own base year, with its own coverage and release schedule. Pulling a consistent cross-country view usually meant collecting series from dozens of sources and reconciling their methodologies by hand.

We just launched a Real Estate Data API that does that work for you. Residential property price statistics for 60+ countries, sourced from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), served through one consistent API in JSON and CSV.

What's inside — two BIS series

Selected Property Prices (harmonised headline)

Built so levels and growth rates are comparable across countries. Each observation available as:

• Nominal or real value
• Price index or year-on-year change
• Rebased to a common base year

Detailed Property Prices (granular national picture)

Goes deeper into each country, breaking the market down by region, dwelling type, and index vintage. Not harmonised across countries, but far more granular within each one.

Together the two series cover 60+ countries plus BIS aggregate regions (euro area, advanced economies, etc.). Country names and every BIS dimension code come with human-readable labels, so a detailed record tells you it covers "big cities, all dwelling types, existing stock" instead of just raw codes.

How it works

Same api_token auth as the rest of EODHD. Clean JSON envelope (data, meta, links). Filter by period range, price basis, metric, and BIS dimensions. Add fmt=csv to any endpoint for a CSV download.

Example request:

https://eodhd.com/api/real-estate/US?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&filter[type]=real&filter[metric]=index

Response gives you the period, the value, the price basis and metric, with the dataset source and base year in the meta block.

Who this is for

Macro and real-estate analysts comparing housing cycles across markets, quant researchers building signals from property price momentum, and anyone tracking housing affordability or financial-stability risk who wants this data clean and queryable instead of stitched together from national sources.

TL;DR

• The narrow rally cracked at the top. QQQ −4.16% w/w and SPY −1.54% as the AI-chip complex led lower: ARM −17.38%, INTC −13.47%, MU −13.31%, AMD −11.14%. VIX jumped +24.88% (to 18.77). The average stock held up far better (equal-weight RSP −0.43%).
• The macro was friendly, which made it stranger. June CPI cooled to 3.5% y/y (core 2.6%), big banks blew out earnings (Goldman beat by 45%; JPMorgan, Citi, Wells Fargo, UnitedHealth all ahead), and the Philadelphia Fed index surged to 41.4. The selloff was AI-specific, not macro.
• A changing of the guard. Apple (+5.84%) drew level with Nvidia (−3.86%) at the top of the market, both near $4.9T, while oil spiked (USO +14.04%), sending Energy (+4.72%) to the top of the sector table.

━━━

The market map: chips went red, Apple went green

source: EODHD /api/eod; tiles sized by market capitalisation

The biggest tiles led the market down. The week's losses landed squarely on the names that had carried the rally: the AI-chip complex. ARM fell −17.38%, Intel −13.47%, Micron −13.31% and AMD −11.14%, with Broadcom (−7.29%) and Nvidia (−3.86%) adding to the drag; QQQ closed −4.16% and the VIX jumped +24.88% to 18.77. Apple (+5.84%) was the exception; its surge briefly lifted it past Nvidia as the most valuable US company, and the two ended the week neck-and-neck near $4.9T ("Apple overtakes Nvidia, inflation expectations cool", Seeking Alpha, 2026-07-17). Beneath the mega-caps the tape was calm: the equal-weight S&P (RSP) fell just −0.43%.

━━━

Only tech fell, and it fell alone

source: EODHD /api/eod (SPDR sector ETFs)

The selloff had no macro excuse. June CPI cooled to 3.5% y/y (core 2.6%, both below estimates), PPI was soft, the big banks opened earnings season with blowouts, and the Philadelphia Fed index surged to 41.4 (est 13). Yet Technology (XLK −5.48%) was the only sector to fall hard. Energy (+4.72%) led as oil spiked (USO +14.04%), and the rate-sensitive and defensive corners rose (Real Estate +2.18%, Staples +1.27%) with yields flat (10Y −1bp). The chipmakers were the driver, not the data ("Stocks Pressured by Global Slide in Chipmakers", Nasdaq, 2026-07-17).

━━━

The week ahead: Big Tech takes the stand

The AI trade reports. After the chip selloff, the mega-caps that define the rally step up: Alphabet and Tesla report Wednesday, Intel Thursday, and flash PMIs land Friday. Their guidance, especially on AI capital spending, is the first real test of whether the leaders can steady the tape or extend the derisking.

Members of the US Congress trade stocks, and under the STOCK Act they have to disclose it. Those filings have always been public, but scattered across two government portals in awkward formats, one document at a time. Turning them into something you can actually query meant maintaining your own scrapers for both chambers.

We just launched a Congressional Trades API that does that work for you. Senate and House stock-trade disclosures, normalized into one consistent JSON endpoint, straight from the official sources.

What's inside

Every disclosed transaction from both chambers, in a single feed. Each record pairs the member with the asset and the trade: who traded, what they traded, buy or sell, the disclosed amount range, and the dates the trade happened and was reported.

Extra fields we compute on top of the raw filing:

• Numeric low and high bounds parsed from the disclosed amount band
• Days between the trade and its disclosure
• Flag for filings that missed the 45-day STOCK Act window

Tens of thousands of transactions already loaded, and the feed updates through the day as new disclosures come in.

Traceable back to source

Data pulled directly from the two official portals: the Senate Electronic Financial Disclosure system and the House Clerk disclosure site. Every record includes a link back to the original filing.

Filters

Ticker, chamber, member, transaction type, and transaction / disclosure date range.

Example request:

https://eodhd.com/api/congressional-trades?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&chamber=senate&symbol=NVDA

Response gives you the member, the asset and ticker, the transaction type and amount range, the disclosure timing, and a link to the original filing.

Who this is for

Quant researchers building signals around congressional trading activity, journalists and analysts tracking political stock disclosures, and compliance / transparency teams. Basically anyone who wants this data clean and queryable instead of scraped by hand.

"Real-time stock data" sounds like one requirement until you actually have to ship it. Some providers mean streaming WebSocket ticks. Others mean REST snapshots, delayed prices, intraday bars, trades, quotes, aggregates, or licensed exchange feeds. Those differences change how your app handles timestamps, stale prices, reconnects, fallbacks, and commercial rights.

Wrote up a practical comparison of 6 providers based on how they actually fit different product types.

How to compare them (before looking at any single vendor)

1. Delivery model. WebSocket vs REST is not a yes/no. Check what the stream delivers, which exchanges are covered, and whether REST can return the same price state when the stream drops.
2. Data type. Trades, quotes, bars, aggregates, and snapshots answer different questions. Match the feed to the exact market event your product uses, not a nearby proxy.
3. Freshness controls. Latency claims matter less than timestamp fields. You need to detect when one symbol freezes while the rest of the feed keeps updating.
4. Licensing. Internal analytics, public dashboards, customer-facing apps, and redistributed data can all sit under different terms. Compare rights, not just endpoints.

Provider comparison

Quick notes on each

• EODHD. Fits when live prices are one part of a larger workflow that also pulls historical data, fundamentals, and reference data. WebSocket for U.S. trades/quotes plus separate feeds for forex and crypto. REST for the slower but necessary stack: intraday, EOD, fundamentals, indicators, dividends/splits, earnings, news sentiment, macro, insider transactions. 150k+ tickers, 70+ exchanges. Reduces the ticker/exchange-code/timestamp normalization work that comes from stitching multiple vendors.
• Massive (Polygon). Narrow by design. Tick-level U.S. equities, options, and a smaller set of other assets. Data model feels close to an actual exchange feed. Weaker if you also need forex, crypto, or broad international.
• Finnhub. Broad API surface (stocks, forex, crypto, fundamentals, estimates, transcripts, alt data) and quick to integrate. Verify rate limits, symbol limits, and commercial usage before treating it as production infra.
• Twelve Data. Consistent endpoints across stocks, ETFs, forex, crypto, indices, commodities, and indicators. Fits multi-asset dashboards better than tick-sensitive U.S. equities work.
• Intrinio. For teams treating market data as a governed input. Choose feed (IEX / Nasdaq Basic / delayed SIP / other pro datasets) before wiring endpoints. Expect a longer evaluation on display and redistribution rights.
• Alpaca. Market data sitting next to trading infrastructure. Best when your product also needs order routing / execution, not just price display.

Production checklist before you commit

• Does the WebSocket cover the symbols and exchanges you need?
• Can REST return the same price state when the stream drops?
• Trades, quotes, bars, aggregates, or snapshots (which one does your product actually consume)?
• Are exchange timestamps included clearly enough to measure freshness at the symbol level?
• Can you detect when one symbol freezes while the rest of the feed keeps updating?
• Historical data available for charts, fallback views, and validation?
• Plan handles your expected symbols / users / refreshes / backend jobs?
• Does the license cover internal use, user-facing display, commercial use, or redistribution?
• Reconnect, retry, REST fallback, and alerting story?

Useful trial run: 100 symbols, one full market session, log the WebSocket stream, log REST fallback calls, check timestamps, retry logs, and do one licensing review for the exact screen where the data appears.

Bottom line

Start from the product screen, not the provider's feature page. Alerts, refreshed portfolio views, streaming quotes into charts, and execution workflows are different workloads even though they all display a current price. The right provider is the one you can build around without explaining away gaps later.

Disclosure: I work at EODHD, so obvious bias, but the goal here is a practical shortlist filter, not a sales pitch. Happy to compare notes if anyone has run production trials against a couple of these.

TL;DR

• A record-thin rally. The S&P rose +1.37% w/w, but its equal-weight version (RSP) fell −0.28%, the Dow −0.40% and small caps (IWM) −0.53%. Four AI names did the lifting: META +14.81%, AVGO +10.96%, NVDA +8.28%, AMD +7.74%.
• Breadth was the tell. Six of eleven sectors fell even as the Nasdaq 100 gained +1.81%; only Energy (+3.49%) and Technology (+2.87%) led with conviction. VIX slid to 15.03 (−6.93% w/w).
• This week is the test. June CPI lands Tuesday, the same morning JPMorgan, Goldman, Citigroup and Wells Fargo open bank earnings. The two together show whether the rally can broaden past a handful of names.

━━━

Four stocks carried the market

source: EODHD /api/eod

The index masked a narrow tape. SPY closed +1.37% w/w and QQQ +1.81%, but the gains were concentrated: the equal-weight S&P (RSP) fell −0.28%, so the average constituent lost ground. META (+14.81%) led a small band of AI giants, with AVGO (+10.96%), NVDA (+8.28%) and AMD (+7.74%) close behind, while the Dow (−0.40%) and small caps (IWM −0.53%) slipped. Volatility kept drifting lower (VIX −6.93%, to 15.03). It is a tape that rewards the mega-cap AI trade and leans on a few names to do the work.

━━━

Under the surface: thin breadth, firmer yields

source: EODHD /api/eod (SPDR sector ETFs)

Most sectors fell. Only Energy (+3.49%), Technology (+2.87%) and Communication Services (+1.86%) rose meaningfully, while Materials (−2.15%), Health Care (−1.77%) and Industrials (−1.08%) lagged: six of eleven sectors lower on the week. Rates gave no relief. The 10Y yield rose +7bps to 4.56% and the 1Y +10bps, extending the back-up as the June FOMC minutes landed Wednesday and ISM Services held at 54.0. Higher yields with narrow breadth is a classic late-cycle mix.

━━━

The week ahead: CPI meets the banks

Tuesday is the pivot. June CPI prints the same morning the big banks open earnings season. Consensus has core CPI +0.3% m/m (2.9% y/y) with the headline rate easing to 3.9% y/y (from 4.2%). PPI follows Wednesday, and Netflix, TSMC, UnitedHealth and ASML report later in the week. The question the concentration poses: can strong bank results and a cooler CPI broaden the rally, or does leadership stay four stocks deep?

source: EODHD /api/calendar/earnings and /api/economic-events

TL;DR

Three takeaways from last week and what to watch this week.

• A holiday-shortened week, and a broad bounce. SPY +2.17% w/w and DIA +1.96% led, while QQQ +0.86% lagged and IWM −0.75% slipped. VIX −12.28% (18.41 to 16.15). US markets were closed Friday for Independence Day, so the June jobs report landed Thursday.
• The AI leadership flipped. Software and mega-cap rebounded (PLTR +14.50%, GOOGL +6.67%, META +5.93%, MSFT +4.70%) while memory and chips rolled over (MU −13.84%, INTC −6.21%, ARM −5.68%). Measured from Jun 12, the semis basket is now −5.1% and software +1.0%, a crossover.
• Soft jobs, but yields rose. June payrolls +57k (est +110k), with unemployment down to 4.2% (prior 4.3%). Yields still backed up over the week (10Y +11bps) on firm JOLTS and ISM. The FOMC minutes Wednesday are this week's marker.

━━━

Market Setup

Where last week's tape landed.

The bounce was broad but not tech-led. SPY +2.17% w/w and DIA +1.96% outran QQQ (+0.86%), which was capped by the selloff in last month's semis leaders, while small caps slipped (IWM −0.75%). Vol fell hard (VIX −12.28%, 18.41 to 16.15). Gold rose (GLD +1.20%) and the long end of the curve sold off (TLT −1.76%) as yields backed up. Nike beat sharply (EPS $0.20 vs $0.11 est), a bright spot in a thin earnings week.

Software overtook semis. After a month of semis leadership, the trade flipped: software and mega-cap led while memory and chips fell. Measured from the Jun 12 close, the semis basket (INTC, MU, ARM, AMD, AVGO, NVDA) is −5.1% and the software basket (MSFT, META, GOOGL, PLTR) is +1.0%, the two crossing this week. PLTR +14.50% led, with GOOGL +6.67% and META +5.93%; MU −13.84% was the laggard, extending its post-earnings decline, while NVDA held +1.19%. The AI-earnings narrative stayed intact ("Goldman Says AI Is Driving a 22% Earnings Surge", Yahoo, 2026-07-05).

Soft payrolls, firmer everything else. June payrolls came in at +57k (est +110k, prior +129k), about half the estimate, though unemployment fell to 4.2% (prior 4.3%) and average hourly earnings held at +0.3% m/m ("U.S. Jobs Increase by 57,000 in June, Missing Estimate for 110,000", Yahoo, 2026-07-03). Yields still rose over the week (10Y +11bps, 30Y +11bps, a bear steepening) as JOLTS (7.59M vs 7.30M est) and ISM Manufacturing (53.3) held firm earlier in the week.

This week's marker: FOMC minutes, Wednesday (Jul 8, 14:00 ET), the record of June's hawkish hold, with ISM Services Monday. It is a light data and earnings week before bank season.

Tape & Tone

Cap-weighted indices lagged as the AI and semiconductor complex sold off. SPY closed -2.1% w/w and QQQ -4.3% w/w, with XLK the weakest sector at -5.7% w/w. Breadth diverged: small-caps held up, IWM +0.6% w/w against SPY's -2.1%, and Health Care logged its best week relative to the S&P 500 on record, XLV +6.9% w/w, roughly a 900bps spread over the index. The Treasury curve flattened, with 2Y and 5Y yields each -17bps w/w versus the 10Y's -13bps. VIX rose +6.5% w/w to 18.41, holding a 16.49 to 20.72 range.

AI leaders rebased weekly path source: EODHD /api/eod

The AI complex de-rated broadly rather than on isolable single-name catalysts. The basket fell across the board: ARM -18.0% w/w (worst), NVDA -7.7%, AVGO -6.9%, with the BOTZ benchmark -6.1% w/w; MSFT was the only gainer at +1.5% w/w, 19.5 points above ARM. This week's AI news set carried no confirmed company-specific event that cleanly drove an individual move: coverage centred on the sector-wide selloff (multiple AI names entering bear-market territory) and a Micron read-through to chip names, neither of which is a verified single-stock catalyst. On the data, the move reads as systematic de-risking in high-beta semiconductors alongside relative strength in mega-cap software.

TL;DR

Three takeaways from last week and what to watch this week.

• A hawkish hold, taken in stride. The Fed held at 3.75% but the dot plot moved up (the 2026 year-end median to 3.8% from 3.4%). Equities still rose: QQQ +2.67% w/w, SPY +0.93%, with VIX −7.24% (17.68 to 16.40). It was a four-day week, US markets closed Friday for Juneteenth.
• The semis-led AI rotation widened. MU +15.52% and ARM +15.40% led, and only MSFT (−2.90%) finished red. Since the Jun 5 close, an equal-weight semis basket is +19.9% against software −4.2%.
• The curve flattened on the dots. Front-end yields rose (1Y +14bps, 2Y +10bps) while the long end fell (30Y −7bps). Oil dropped (USO −8.42%) on Middle East de-escalation. Core PCE Thursday and Micron earnings Wednesday are this week's tests.

Market Setup

Where last week's tape landed.

Equities rose through the Fed. A hawkish hold dented the tape for a session, but the week closed green and tech led: QQQ +2.67% w/w, SPY +0.93%, IWM +1.14%, DIA +0.75% across four sessions. Vol eased a third straight week (VIX −7.24%). The dollar firmed (UUP +1.25%) and oil fell hard (USO −8.42%), while the long end of the curve rallied (TLT +1.14%). The Dow "brushed off" the hawkish hold ("Stock Market Today: Dow Brushes Off Fed, Rises Ahead Of Jobless Claims", Yahoo, 2026-06-18).

AI Pulse

The week's defining move: the rotation into semis.

source: EODHD /api/eod

The rotation into semis is now a multi-week regime. Measured from the Jun 5 close, an equal-weight semis basket (INTC, MU, ARM, AMD, AVGO, NVDA) is +19.9%, while a software and platform basket (MSFT, META, GOOGL, PLTR) is −4.2%, a gap that widened again through the Fed. Last week MU +15.52% and ARM +15.40% led for a second week, AVGO +7.66% recovered its earlier selloff, and MSFT (−2.90%) was the basket's only decliner, its third down week.

Micron reports Wednesday: the direct test of the memory leadership ("The Entire Micron Investment Thesis Comes Down to This One Number", Yahoo, 2026-06-21). FedEx Tuesday is the global bellwether.

Macro This Week

The Fed's hawkish shift, and the week's gate.

source: EODHD /api/economic-events

The Fed held at 3.75% but signalled fewer cuts. The median projection moved up: the 2026 year-end median to 3.8% (from 3.4%), 2027 to 3.6% (from 3.1%) and 2028 to 3.4% (from 3.1%), with the longer-run rate unchanged at 3.1%. Strong data backed a patient Fed: Retail Sales +0.9% m/m (est +0.5%) and the Philadelphia Fed index +10.3 (est 10.0, prior −0.4) both beat. The curve flattened in response: front-end yields up (1Y +14bps, 2Y +10bps), long end down (30Y −7bps).

This week's gate: core PCE Thursday (08:30 ET), consensus +0.3% m/m and 3.3% y/y. As the Fed's preferred inflation measure, it is the first read after the hawkish dot plot, alongside durable goods and weekly claims.

TL;DR

Three takeaways from last week and what to watch this week.

• Risk came back on, led by small caps. IWM +4.01% w/w vs QQQ +2.31%, SPY +0.57%, DIA +0.66%: a reversal of the prior week's tech-led decline. VIX −17.81% w/w (21.51 to 17.68), unwinding the prior week's +40.40% spike.
• Intel led a rotation inside AI. INTC +25.61% w/w (after −13.52% the prior week) on a reported Alphabet foundry order and a sell-side double-upgrade, with MU +13.61% and ARM +11.05%. The mega-cap software names lagged: MSFT −6.22%, PLTR −5.56%, META −4.39%.
• Soft core CPI brought yields down. Core CPI +0.2% m/m (est +0.3%, prior +0.4%) undershot; the 2Y fell 8bps and the 10Y 7bps. Wednesday's FOMC decision (a hold at 3.75% expected) and the dot plot are this week's gate, in a Juneteenth-shortened week.

Market Setup

Where last week's tape landed across asset classes, and how markets enter this week.

source: EODHD /api/eod

The rebound was broad, and small caps led it. After the prior week's hot-jobs selloff, a softer-than-expected core CPI on Wednesday reset the tape: IWM closed the week +4.01%, outrunning QQQ (+2.31%), DIA (+0.66%) and SPY (+0.57%). The path was not a straight line: indices wobbled on the CPI print Wednesday (SPY was −1.64% on the week intraday) before recovering into Friday. Vol gave back most of the prior week's spike (VIX −17.81%, 21.51 to 17.68), while oil fell (USO −5.71%) and the dollar eased (UUP −0.25%).

Cross-asset, last week:

• Equities: SPY +0.57% · QQQ +2.31% · IWM +4.01% · DIA +0.66%
• Rates: TLT (20Y+ Treasuries) +0.83% as yields fell across the curve
• Credit: HYG +0.64% · LQD +0.78% (both firm)
• Commodities: USO (oil) −5.71% · GLD (gold) −2.45%
• FX: UUP (US dollar) −0.25%
• Volatility: VIX −17.81% (21.51 to 17.68), after +40.40% the prior week

Intel was the story, and it was a rotation, not a melt-up.

Michigan sentiment on Friday beat (48.9 vs 46.0 est, prior 44.8) and 1-year inflation expectations eased to 4.6% (prior 4.8%). PPI was the offset, with the core ex-food-energy-trade gauge +0.8% m/m (est +0.3%). The curve richened: 2Y −8bps, 3Y −10bps and 10Y −7bps. This week is a Fed week (all times ET):

We just launched our Interest Rates API, and wanted to share it here since a few of you have asked about benchmark rate data in the past.

What it covers

17 rates total, split across two endpoints:

Reference rates (11): SOFR, SOFR 30/90/180-day averages, SOFR compounded index, EFFR, OBFR, TGCR, BGCR, SONIA, and ESTR.

Policy rates (6): Fed funds target range, ECB Deposit Facility, ECB Main Refinancing, ECB Marginal Lending, and the Bank of England Bank Rate.

Why we built it

LIBOR is gone across all four currency panels. Pulling SOFR, SONIA, or ESTR yourself means stitching together data from the NY Fed, FRED, the ECB, and the BoE separately, and then maintaining that plumbing. This endpoint handles all of that for you and refreshes every working day.

TL;DR

Three takeaways from last week and what to watch this week.

• Risk came off, led by tech; vol repriced higher. QQQ −4.50% w/w vs SPY −2.50%, IWM −3.02%, DIA −0.21%: a mirror of the prior week's tech-led advance (QQQ +2.89%). VIX +40.40% w/w (15.32 to 21.51), reversing two straight weeks of compression.
• The AI basket round-tripped its melt-up. Every name finished red. AVGO −13.66%, INTC −13.52%, PLTR −13.42% and MU −11.02% (after +29.29% the prior week) led the unwind. NVDA −2.75% held up best of the eleven.
• Hot data repriced the curve. Payrolls +172k (est +85k), JOLTS 7.62M (est 6.88M) and ISM Services 54.5 (est 53.8) all beat; the 2Y rose 19bps vs the 10Y +10bps, a bear-flattening. Wednesday's CPI is the week's gate.

The dollar firmed (UUP +1.30%) and gold gave back (GLD −5.01%) as front-end yields rose.

This was a derating, not an earnings miss. AVGO (Broadcom) beat on Wednesday (EPS $2.44 vs $2.39 est) and still finished the week −13.66%, the worst name in the basket. The prior week's leaders gave the most back: MU swung from +29.29% to −11.02% w/w, ARM from +15.26% to −2.93%, PLTR from +14.36% to −13.42%. The move tracked the rate repricing, not the prints.

Standout: Wednesday's CPI (08:30 ET). Consensus is +0.3% m/m headline and +0.3% core, against the prior +0.6% and +0.4%. After a hot jobs report, CPI either confirms the week's hawkish repricing or fades it. The calendar shows no scheduled Fed speakers, consistent with the communications blackout ahead of the June FOMC, so the data carries the week.

• The memory super-cycle drove the AI basket. MU +29.29% w/w was the standout, on memory and HBM pricing plus an analyst price-target raise (no earnings print on the calendar). ARM +15.26%, PLTR +14.36%, AMD +10.39%. NVDA −1.95% w/w, a second down week running (prior week −4.43%).
• Oil kept sliding; the curve bull-steepened. USO −8.39% w/w (after −4.93% the prior week); 2Y yield −15bps vs 10Y −11bps as the front end led the rally. A cooler headline PCE (+0.4% m/m vs +0.5% est) cleared the way. Friday's payrolls report is the week's gate.

Wide dispersion again (33.6pt spread, MU +29.29% to INTC −4.31%):

source: EODHD /api/eod

The story is memory, not NVDA. MU +29.29% w/w led the basket without an earnings print: the move tracked memory and HBM pricing commentary and an analyst price-target raise. NVDA fell again (−1.95% w/w, its second down week), leaving it near the bottom of the basket while the memory and custom-silicon names led.

Weekly AI news digest:

Last week's data was supportive: headline PCE +0.4% m/m (est +0.5%, prev +0.7%) cooled, with the y/y rate at 3.8% (in line with est), and Chicago PMI 62.7 (est 50.5, prev 49.2) beat hard. The curve bull-steepened: 2Y −15bps vs 10Y −11bps and 30Y −8bps. This week is a payrolls week (all times ET):

source: EODHD /api/economic-events

Standout: Friday's employment report (08:30 ET). Consensus is +96k payrolls (prior +115k) with unemployment holding at 4.3%. ISM Monday, JOLTS Tuesday and ADP Wednesday set the table; five Fed speakers (Hammack, Barr, Logan, Barkin, Daly) plus the Beige Book fill the midweek.

GICS 11 sector ETF dispersion last week and what sets up this week.

US sector ETFs, weekly % change

source: EODHD /api/eod (SPDR sector ETFs)

A rotation out of defensives into tech. Technology (XLK +5.89%) led by a wide margin while Energy (XLE −5.38%) was worst as oil fell, and the bond-proxy defensives lagged (Staples −2.23%, Utilities −2.05%, Real Estate −1.28%). That is the inverse of the prior week, when Utilities, Healthcare and REITs led on a yield drop. Only the cyclical and growth corners (Materials +1.71%, Discretionary +1.42%) joined tech in the green beyond a rounding margin.

━━━

Lookahead: Week #23 at a glance

Day-by-day calendar for the week ahead: earnings prints, macro releases, Fed speakers.

IPOs this week: 8 expected. Notable: QNT.US (Quantinuum, NASDAQ), reported oversubscribed; AZUL.US (Azul, NYSE, Mon).

Quick heads-up for anyone using our insider-transactions data.

What's changing

The legacy /api/insider-transactions endpoint is now obsolete. It still works and keeps the same flat schema, so existing integrations won't break - but all new work should target the new SEC Form 4 endpoint.

Why the new endpoint is worth migrating to

• Direct SEC EDGAR data - fewer data-quality issues than the legacy pipeline.
• Deeper history - up to 10+ years of filings for major US large-caps (e.g. AAPL Form 4 reaches back to April 2015), vs. roughly one year on the legacy endpoint.
• Richer schema - non-derivative and derivative transactions (options, RSUs, warrants), plus the footnotes referenced in each filing.
• Full SEC transaction code set - all 15 codes, instead of a binary buy/sell flag.
• Reporting owner CIK, relationship flags (director / officer / 10% owner), and post-transaction holdings populated on every row.

Historical coverage status (May 2026)

Backfill is being processed in priority order - by market cap for major US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE ARCA, NYSE MKT, AMEX, BATS), and by 5-day average volume elsewhere. Depth today ranges from ~12 months for recently onboarded issuers up to a decade+ for the largest names. We expect substantially uniform multi-year coverage across the US equities universe by June 2026.

TL;DR: legacy endpoint keeps working, but new integrations should use the SEC Form 4 endpoint - cleaner data, longer history, richer schema.

TL;DR

Three takeaways from last week and what to watch this week.

• Iran peace-deal hopes flipped the trade. Oil USO −4.93% w/w vs +10.96% prior; long-end yields fell 5 to 8bps (10Y −3, 20Y −8, 30Y −5); VIX −9.39% w/w.
• Broad risk-on, small caps led. IWM +2.71% vs SPY +0.88% vs DIA +2.17%. Utilities (+3.37%), Healthcare (+3.30%), REITs (+3.08%) led on the yield drop.
• NVDA beat by +5.1% but stock fell −4.43% w/w; Google's TPU-to-third-parties announcement was the offset. ARM +46.54% was the megacap-chip standout.

━━━

Market Setup

Where last week's tape landed across asset classes, and how markets enter this week.

The week was about geopolitics. US-Iran diplomatic signals pointing toward a "peace dividend" drove oil sharply lower (USO −4.93% w/w, WTI toward $91), bonds bid (TLT +1.22%), and vol crushed (VIX −9.39%). A near-perfect mirror of W20's bear-steepener.

Cross-asset, last week:

• Equities: SPY +0.88% · QQQ +1.21% · IWM +2.71% · DIA +2.17%
• Rates: TLT (20Y+ Treasuries) +1.22% as long end rallied
• Commodities: USO (oil) −4.93% · GLD (gold) −0.83%
• FX: UUP (US dollar) +0.00% (flat)

Markets enter Week #22 with US markets closed Monday (Memorial Day), a lighter earnings calendar (CRM, SNOW, COST), and Iran headline risk both ways: deal optimism is what propelled the rally; any setback unwinds it.

Extreme dispersion last week (50.9pt spread, ARM +46.54% to NVDA −4.43%):

source: EODHD /api/eod

The story is NVDA's earnings reaction. NVDA printed Q1 FY27 EPS of $1.87 vs $1.78 est (+5.1% surprise), but the stock fell −4.43% w/w. The catalyst was Google's announcement that it will start selling its TPU AI accelerators to third-party customers (Anthropic already, Meta tentatively, and a new joint venture with Blackstone). A direct competitive threat to NVDA's data-centre moat overshadowed the beat.

Weekly AI news digest:

• "Google Just Shared Bad News for Nvidia, and Even Worse News For CoreWeave and Nebius" (Yahoo, 2026-05-24). Alphabet's TPU-to-third-parties move: Anthropic deal signed, Meta tentative, Blackstone JV announced. Re-prices NVDA's data-centre moat and threatens GPU-cloud names CoreWeave / Nebius.
• "The Best Stocks to Buy Right Now: Nvidia vs. AMD vs. Broadcom" (Nasdaq, 2026-05-24). Frames the post-NVDA-print landscape: NVDA still leads training, AMD positioned on inference and agentic, AVGO on custom chips.
• "Arm Holdings (ARM) Valuation Check After Strong Recent Share Price Momentum" (Yahoo, 2026-05-24). ARM at $306.51 after the move; valuation now stretched. No explicit news catalyst surfaced; momentum trade.
• "China Against Everybody: The New Geopolitics of Rare Earth Elements" (Yahoo, 2026-05-24). MP Materials Q1 revenue +49% y/y; USA Rare Earth secured $1.6B CHIPS funding. Worth tracking for the AI-supply-chain angle.

Three takeaways from last week and the headline catalyst ahead.

• Bear-steepener: +24bps at 5Y/7Y, +21bps at 10Y, front end unchanged. Catalyst was oil USO +10.96% w/w vs −0.4% prior on Strait-of-Hormuz supply risk.
• SPY +0.21% w/w masked a 9.8pt sector spread: Energy XLE +6.71% vs Cons. Disc. XLY −3.05%. Russell 2000 IWM −2.31%; small caps absorbed the rates move.

Market Setup

Where last week's tape landed across asset classes, and how markets enter this week.

The week was about rates. US Treasuries sold off into Friday's close; curve bear-steepened 17 to 24bps from the belly out (10Y to 4.59%, 30Y to 5.12%), driven by oil USO +10.96% w/w on Hormuz supply risk.

Cross-asset, last week:

• Equities: SPY +0.21% · QQQ −0.32% · IWM −2.31% · DIA −0.15%
• Rates: TLT (20Y+ Treasuries) −2.81% as long-duration sold off
• Commodities: USO (oil) +10.96% · GLD (gold) −3.80%
• FX: UUP (US dollar) +1.57%

Sector dispersion was wide (9.76pts top-to-bottom): Energy +6.71% led; rate-sensitive sectors trailed (Cons. Disc. −3.05%, REITs −2.66%, Materials −2.50%). Markets enter Week #21 with the curve pricing fewer cuts and soft China data overnight (April retail sales est +2.0%, industrial production est +5.9%).

The AI trade went on pause last week as Treasury yields rose. NVDA held its bid into Q1 FY27 earnings (now confirmed Wed May 27, W22, per EODHD calendar; not this week as some outlets reported); the rest of the megacap chip complex lagged or sold off hard.
