Subject: Your Weekly Market Snapshot: 18th - 22nd May 2026

Assalamu’alaikum traders,

Week 20 has officially come to an end. Another week in the market means another week filled with lessons, emotions, wins, mistakes, and experiences that continue shaping us — not only as traders, but as individuals.

Some of you may be ending the week feeling happy with your trades. Alhamdulillah, may your success bring more gratitude and goodness into your life. Others may be closing the week feeling mentally drained, frustrated, or disappointed after facing losses or missed opportunities. And that’s okay too.

Because trading was never just about money. It’s also about patience when things move slowly, discipline when emotions rise, and staying calm when the market doesn’t go the way we expected.

📊 Friday Market Wrap – Weekly Recap

Minutes Chart:

📈 The bullish momentum remains strong.

Despite rising Treasury yields and ongoing geopolitical tensions, U.S. stocks continued pushing higher, with the S&P 500 recording its eighth consecutive winning week. Investor confidence is still being supported by resilient economic data, solid corporate earnings, and continued optimism surrounding AI-related sectors.

Daily charts:

Although inflation concerns and higher yields have created some volatility, easing bond yields on Friday and hopes of a possible U.S.-Iran de-escalation helped improve market sentiment. Analysts believe this market environment is different from 2022, as investors remain focused on earnings strength and selective opportunities in both major tech and cyclical sectors.

Weekly charts:

💬 Do you think this rally still has more room to run?

🌱 Stay grounded. In trading, consistency will always outlast temporary hype.

⚠️ Not financial advice. Always do your own research.

Take this weekend to rest your mind, reflect on your mistakes, and mentally prepare yourself for the week ahead.

Inn Shaa Allah, we go again next Saturday.

May your weekend be peaceful, productive, and filled with barakah. 🌙

Cheers & Regards,

Syazwan Bakar
