Stocks surged last week with the easing of geopolitical tensions that had weighed on equities for weeks.

The U.S. stock market enjoyed a second straight rally last week as geopolitical tensions shifted, at least temporarily, from escalation to diplomacy.

The U.S. stock market was closed last week on Good Friday.

The first quarter of 2026 saw a shift in market preference.

Wall Street saw stocks continue to trend lower last week, influenced by geopolitical tension, volatile energy markets, and shifting investor sentiment.

Stocks fell sharply last week, with each of the benchmark indexes posting declines as rising energy prices, tensions in the Middle East, and renewed stagflation fears dampened risk sentiment.

Wall Street saw a third straight week of losses as rising oil prices sparked inflation fears.

Stocks ended last week sharply lower, impacted by renewed inflation and geopolitical events.

The U.S. stock market ended the month on a rather sour note, with both the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ closing February in the red, while the Dow managed to just edge into the black.

U.S. equities spent most of last week trending lower, ultimately rebounding in a major way last Friday to close the week higher.
