The Bespoke Report – 4/17/26

The S&P 500 fell more than 1% in each of the four full trading weeks of March, but the index has now risen 3%+ in each of the last three weeks.

The sharp move higher has left the index at fresh all-time highs.

In this week’s Bespoke Report, we cover the snapback rally that we’ve seen and how prior rapid reversals like this have eventually played out.

We also take a look at the upcoming earnings season, positive economic data, and the recent outperformance for international markets.

Hormuz remained closed this week but markets are working very hard to look past that fact given the huge surge in stocks and drop in energy futures. We go through the week’s chaotic headlines in detail, but keep our eye on other equity market drivers as well: economic data in the US and abroad, risk premiums (and return potential) offered by US stocks and bonds, the very strong performance of emerging markets, and the inflation outlook including the critical question of whether inflation expectations will remain anchored amidst this latest shock to consumer prices.

The Bespoke Report – 3/20/26 – Closure Continues

To read our weekly Bespoke Report newsletter and access everything else Bespoke’s research platform offers, start a two-week trial to Bespoke Premium. This week we are closely focused on the three week war in Iran and its consequences for energy markets and the economy. The conflict has driven a massive surge in energy stocks around the world with US refiners especially benefitting. But broad indices have plunged into deep oversold territory as stocks reel from a sudden and extreme shift in central bank pricing. We recap a long list of central bank decisions across emerging and developed markets as well as the chaos in bonds markets that spent the week waking up to the risks for interest rates of significant global petroleum shortages. We also review economic data, which this week showed an economy with surprisingly solid labor markets, healthy balance sheets, and accelerating inflation…even before the impacts of oil price surges.
