Shesa's MAY 2026 Investment Blog

  By Shesa Nayak Welcome to Shesa’s investment Blog!  U.S Stock Market Update April was one of the spectacular months for the stock market in years.

The Nasdaq jumped humongous 15.3% , and the Dow was up 7.1% , all closing near record highs. The S&P closed at 7230.12 and Nasdaq closed at 25,114.44. When I wrote my last blog, the market was going nowhere but down. But what a turnaround!  Suddenly it took a U turn and rocketed higher taking most retail investors in surprise.

The turnaround in the market surprised most of the investors and traders alike! It was too much too fast from negative to positive sentiment. Why did it happen? I will share my view later. Let's a take a look to the indexes: S&P 500 hit new record at 7,126, up +4.5% for the week. Nasdaq, up +6.8% to 24,468. DOW closed at 49,447. The Russel 2000 Small Cap Index is up about 12% year to date beating all other indexes.  What caused this rally?     Easing Iran tensions (Strait of Hormuz reopened, ceasefire hopes) sent oil price sharply lower. Producer Price Index ( PPI ) for March rose ju...
