The Markets (as of market close July 24, 2026)
Despite a broad-based rally last Friday, stocks generally closed the week lower. With the exception of the Global Dow, each of the benchmark indexes listed here ended last week in the red. Ongoing tensions in the Middle East have wreaked havoc with crude oil prices, which jumped to over $100/barrel last Thursday, only to plunge to about $90/barrel by the end of the week. Ten-year Treasury yields jumped to their highest levels since January 2025 following a four-session rally before settling at 4.67%. Energy, industrials, information technology, utilities, health care, and materials outperformed, while consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and communication services declined.
