U.S. equity indices are pulling back modestly from record highs on April 29, 2026. The S&P 500 is down roughly 0.4%, the Dow about 0.8%, and the Nasdaq about 0.4% intraday as of mid‑afternoon, pausing after a strong multi‑week rally. (apnews.com)
A sharp spike in oil is the key macro story: Brent crude for July delivery is up nearly 6% to around $110–111 per barrel, near the highest levels since 2022. The move reflects ongoing supply fears linked to the Iran war and recent OPEC+ tensions, and is pressuring rate‑cut expectations and bond markets. (apnews.com)
Fed policy is back at center stage. Futures and commentary show markets in wait‑and‑see mode ahead of the late‑April FOMC decision, with several officials recently signaling reluctance to cut rates soon. Equities are range‑bound as investors balance resilient earnings against the risk of ‘higher for longer’ policy. (fx.co)
Earnings season remains broadly constructive, with large‑cap tech and AI‑linked names still expected to drive a sizable share of 2026 S&P 500 earnings growth. Strategists such as Goldman Sachs continue to project mid‑single‑digit upside for U.S. equities over the full year, anchored by AI capex and solid profit growth. (goldmansachs.com)
Sentiment is being tugged in both directions by geopolitics (Iran conflict), higher energy prices, and a recent wobble in megacap tech (notably Nvidia and Broadcom acting as drags earlier this week), even as the broader tape still trades close to all‑time highs. (apnews.com)
