As of February 15, 2025, the U.S. stock market has shown resilience despite concerns over inflation and economic data. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) reported a month-over-month increase of 0.5%, which initially caused market anxiety. However, the underlying Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) components, closely monitored by the Federal Reserve, indicated stability, suggesting that the Fed may maintain its current monetary policy. The S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX) are experiencing upward momentum, with the SPX reaching a new all-time high ($SPY) and the QQQ breaking out. European stocks, particularly the German DAX, are outperforming the S&P 500, driven by optimism regarding a potential resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Additionally, gold and silver prices have been affected by lower yields and a retreating U.S. dollar. Market participants are closely watching these developments as they prepare for the upcoming trading week.
