Nasdaq Climbs to Record Highs as AI and Utilities Shine Amid Tariff Caution

U.S. equities ended the week mixed, with the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 closing at or near record highs as enthusiasm around AI chipmakers and strong earnings supported momentum. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.5%, while the S&P 500 rose 0.6% weekly. In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down 0.1% for the week, pressured by individual stock declines and cautious rotation. The IWM closed with a slight weekly gain.

Underneath the market strength, however, breadth concerns persisted. Gains were increasingly concentrated in a small group of large-cap technology and semiconductor names, raising questions about the market’s underlying health. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) slipped, underscoring the imbalance. Tuesday’s session, in particular, highlighted this dynamic as only 48 stocks in the S&P 500 closed higher despite the index initially trending up.

The Red-Light/Green-Light Breadth System

Investors digested mixed economic data, including strong June retail sales, a decline in initial jobless claims, and a drop in single-family homebuilding to an 11-month low. Meanwhile, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index ticked higher in July, with inflation expectations easing to 4.4%, below the 5% consensus. The backdrop offered modest support to markets, although the looming threat of new tariffs continued to cloud investor confidence.

Treasury yields drifted lower late in the week. The 10-year yield settled at 4.43%, the 2-year at 3.87%, and the 30-year at 5.00%, as dovish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller reignited hopes for a potential rate cut at the upcoming July 29–30 policy meeting.

Currency Markets

The U.S. dollar held firm near multi-week highs, with the Dollar Index (DXY) finishing Friday at 98.46, nearly flat on the day and up about 0.65% for the week. This marked its second consecutive weekly gain, supported by strong U.S. economic indicators—including resilient labor market data and easing inflation—which reinforced expectations that interest rates may remain elevated in the near term. Meanwhile, net foreign capital inflows into U.S. assets totaled approximately $311 billion in May, reflecting continued global demand for dollar-denominated securities. The dollar experienced a brief midweek dip following dovish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, who signaled support for a potential rate cut later this year. However, the broader trend remains intact, with the greenback re-aligning with core macroeconomic fundamentals unless further tariff escalations or shifts in Fed leadership introduce new volatility.

TSX Recap

The TSX Composite Index fell 0.27% on Friday to close at 27,314.01, dragged lower by weakness in industrial, healthcare, and consumer discretionary stocks. Despite the pullback, the index posted a 1.1% gain for the week, setting record highs on Thursday before profit-taking and trade war headlines pressured markets.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP) dropped 3.6%, while Canadian National Railway (CNR) and Air Canada (AC) each fell more than 2.4%, contributing to the industrial sector’s 1% decline. Meanwhile, Headwater Exploration (HWX) and Baytex Energy (BTE) both advanced approximately 3.8%, lifting the energy sector. Utility names outperformed, with Capital Power (CPX) and TransAlta (TA) rising 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Investors will be watching Monday’s Bank of Canada Business Outlook Survey for clues on corporate sentiment amid the ongoing tariff uncertainty.

Crypto Surge

Bitcoin (BTC) closed near $118,000 on Friday, easing slightly from intraday highs but remaining well-supported by continued ETF inflows and resilient demand. Ethereum (ETH) advanced nearly 6% on Friday to finish around $3,674.90, ending the week up nearly 20% and threatening to break out from our big weekly pattern, bolstered by U.S. legislation favorable to digital assets. Derivatives positioning remained elevated, while staking flows into ETH continued to climb.

Commodity Watch

Commodities ended the week mixed as geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty influenced market flows. WTI crude settled at $67.30 per barrel, while Brent crude closed at $69.28, both easing slightly amid concerns over global demand and the impact of renewed EU sanctions on Russia. Gold held firm near multi-week highs, ending at $3,349 per ounce, forming a pennant or symmetrical triangle pattern. Silver traded around $38, while platinum surged to $1,472.20, its highest level since 2014.

Uranium stocks showed renewed strength as bullish sentiment returned to the sector. The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) broke out to new 52-week highs, driven by rising global interest in nuclear energy and increased investor flows. Unusual options activity was observed across several uranium-linked names, signaling institutional positioning for further upside. Stocks such as Cameco (CCJ) and Denison Mines (DNN) attracted attention, aligning with the broader move in URA, which has gained momentum on volume and technical strength. The rally reflects growing conviction that uranium demand will remain robust amid a global shift toward energy security and decarbonization.

Sector & Thematic Movers

The rally in semiconductors led markets once again, with Nvidia (NVDA) climbing 4.5% and marking an eight-week winning streak. The stock hit fresh highs on reports it will resume H20 AI chip sales to China. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) surged 7.2%, while Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) gained 4.3% on strong results and upbeat guidance.

Talen Energy (TLN) soared 24% after announcing a $3.5 billion acquisition of natural-gas-fired power plants, positioning itself as a key supplier to data centers. Fellow independent power producer Vistra (VST) rose 6% on sympathy flows. Constellation Energy (CEG) also gained more than 4%, lifting the broader utilities sector.

The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) jumped 7.35%, reflecting renewed enthusiasm in speculative growth names. In contrast, Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) declined 3.6%, and Health Care Select Sector SPDR (XLV) lost 2.5%.

Stock Movers

Netflix (NFLX) plunged 5.1% following its earnings report, breaking below its 50-day moving average and leading tech laggards. American Express (AXP) fell 2.3% despite a solid quarter, while 3M (MMM) dropped 3.7% on post-earnings concerns and tariff exposure.

Interactive Brokers (IBKR) rallied 7.8% after reporting a surge in trading volume, while Charles Schwab (SCHW) climbed 2.9% on strong quarterly results.

Astera Labs (ALAB) advanced weekly 6.5% and is attempting to break through a multi-week resistance level. LPL Financial (LPLA) moved above a key technical setup at 390.23, entering its potential breakout zone.

Elsewhere, Construction Partners (ROAD) and Full Truck Alliance (YMM) gave back early-week breakout gains, highlighting the selective and fragile nature of technical continuation setups in this market.

Options & Insider Flow

Options expiration added some noise to Friday’s tape. Elevated call volume was noted in Tesla (TSLA) and Coinbase (COIN) ahead of key earnings next week. Notably, Tesla stock rose 5.15% last week, reclaiming its 50-day moving average and positioning near a larger technical base with a resistance level at $367.71.

Insider transactions were relatively quiet, though modest buying activity was spotted in selected energy and healthcare names.

Conclusion

Despite tariff anxieties and signs of narrowing market breadth, major U.S. indexes continued to grind higher, led by semiconductors, utilities, and AI-adjacent stocks. Economic data painted a resilient consumer, while easing inflation expectations and dovish Fed commentary supported equity valuations. Still, the rally rests on a narrow foundation, and with earnings season entering full swing and a looming August 1 tariff deadline, the path forward may bring increased volatility. Investors appear positioned for further upside but remain sensitive to surprises—either from the Federal Reserve, the White House, or the corporate earnings calendar.
