2026 02/02 - 02/06. Wall Street's Dow Jones Index surpasses 50,000 amid a groundbreaking U.S.-India trade pact, While the tech sector faces volatility and cryptocurrency markets struggle

This week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eclipsed 50,000 points, fueled by a landmark trade agreement between the U.S. and India. However, other indexes, particularly in the tech sector, exhibit significant volatility driven by heavy AI investments. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency faces a troubling decline, labeled a "death spiral," while Treasury yields fall amid disappointing labor data, and crude oil prices drop amid shifting U.S.-Iran relations. Looking ahead, investors will closely monitor inflation reports and corporate earnings, as well as the effects of geopolitical shifts and AI spending on economic sentiment.|-----|* S&P.* 02/02 M. 6,976.44 |* 02/03 T. 6,917.81 |* 02/04 W. 6,882.72 |* 02/05 T. 6,798.40 |* 02/06 F. 6,932.30 ||---|* Nasdaq.* 02/02 M. 23,592.11 |* 02/03 T. 23,255.19 |* 02/04 W. 22,904.58 |* 02/05 T. 22,540.59 |* 02/06 F. 23,031.21 ||---|* DJI.* 02/02 M. 49,407.66 |* 02/03 T. 49,240.99 |* 02/04 W. 49,501.30 |* 02/05 T. 48,908.72 |* 02/06 F. 50,115.67 ||-----|* 2-yr T Bond %.* 02/02 M. 3.570 |* 02/03 T. 3.572 |* 02/04 W. 3.559 |* 02/05 T. 3.483 |* 02/06 F. 3.495 ||---|* 10-yr T Bond %.* 02/02 M. 4.277 |* 02/03 T. 4.273 |* 02/04 W. 4.278 |* 02/05 T. 4.210 |* 02/06 F. 4.206 ||-----|* S&P ROC %.* 02/02 M. 0.539 |* 02/03 T. -0.84 |* 02/04 W. -0.507 |* 02/05 T. -1.225 |* 02/06 F. 1.97 ||---|* VIX.* 02/02 M. 16.34 |* 02/03 T. 18.00 |* 02/04 W. 18.64 |* 02/05 T. 21.77 |* 02/06 F. 20.37 ||---|* Shiller PE.* 02/02 M. 40.67 |* 02/03 T. 40.32 |* 02/04 W. 40.12 |* 02/05 T. 39.60 |* 02/06 F. 40.38 ||-----|* BCOMENTR.* 02/02 M. 68.4225 |* 02/03 T. 69.6954 |* 02/04 W. 71.9274 |* 02/05 T. 70.9104 |* 02/06 F. 70.8962 ||---|* BCOMINTR.* 02/02 M. 422.95 |* 02/03 T. 434.33 |* 02/04 W. 425.32 |* 02/05 T. 421.70 |* 02/06 F. 426.53 ||---|* SPGSAG.* 02/02 M. 343.64 |* 02/03 T. 343.65 |* 02/04 W. 343.20 |* 02/05 T. 346.85 |* 02/06 F. 343.79 ||---|* SPGSPM.* 02/02 M. 6,248.84 |* 02/03 T. 6,643.56 |* 02/04 W. 6,672.73 |* 02/05 T. 6,526.79 |* 02/06 F. 6,636.69 ||-----|* WTI Crude Oil.* 02/02 M. 62.14 |* 02/03 T. 63.21 |* 02/04 W. 65.14 |* 02/05 T. 63.29 |* 02/06 F. 63.55 ||-----|* Economic Events.* 02/10 T.
