Markets kept climbing higher last week, with stocks continuing to push into fresh highs. AMZN stood out by breaking above its previous all-time high, showing just how strong momentum still is in big tech.
At the same time, oil prices moved slightly higher as Iran-Israel tensions remained a risk in the background. But for now, that pressure seems to have a much smaller impact on equities than before. The market is still choosing to focus on strength, not fear.
