Aug 10, 2026, 8:39 AM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Last week the S&P 500 cleared a multi-month range to record highs as earnings momentum steadied and rate fears cooled, offsetting July's momentum stock selloff. The unwind of leveraged AI bets and a hedge fund liquidation underscores risk but macro catalysts—2026 earnings up about 30%, robust AI capex, and solid GDP growth—support a continued near-term bull case.

2026 earnings expected to rise ~30%, aided by AI capex and GDP growth.
