U.S. equity futures concluded a strong first week of 2026 with all four major indices posting gains, led by a 4.7% rise in Russell 2000 futures and a 2% gain in Nasdaq-100 futures. Despite a stronger dollar, assets across the board including Gold, Silver, and WTI Crude Oil futures also finished positive. Looking ahead to the week of January 12th, market focus shifts to a heavy slate of Federal Reserve speakers and the start of the quarterly earnings season with major financial institutions reporting. Key economic data including U.S. CPI, PPI, and retail sales will also be released alongside several Treasury auctions to provide further clarity on the economic outlook.
