Subject: Your Weekly Market Snapshot: 26th - 30th January 2026

Assalamu’alaikum and hello traders 👋🏻

Alright—Week 4 is done. How did it feel on your side?

Maybe you walked away with some profits. Maybe the market reminded you who’s really in charge. Both are valid. In trading, growth doesn’t always show up as green candles. Sometimes it looks like patience, emotional restraint, or choosing not to click that buy or sell button.

Some of you kicked off the year confidently—Alhamdulillah. Others felt the pressure early. That’s normal. Trading was never meant to be a game of perfection. It’s about showing up consistently, respecting your rules, and knowing when not to trade instead of forcing moves just to stay busy.

📊 Friday Market Wrap – Weekly Recap

Here’s what shaped the week 👇🏻

Minutes Chart:

📈 A mildly bullish close to January

Markets wrapped up the month with a cautious upside. Investors digested steady-rate signals from the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve, with growing expectations that rate cuts may slow after late-2025 as inflation clarity is still awaited. Attention also turned to Kevin Warsh’s nomination as potential successor to Jerome Powell—seen by many as a credible and slightly dovish pick, though still bound by the FOMC framework.

Daily charts:

Volatility picked up toward Friday. Tech stocks weighed on major U.S. indices despite solid gains earlier in the month. Earnings were mixed—some strong beats, some sharp disappointments. Precious metals pulled back sharply as speculative positions unwound, while U.S. lawmakers edged closer to extending government funding, though shutdown risks haven’t fully disappeared.

💬 Your take

Just a breather… or the early signs of a bigger shift?

🌱 A gentle reminder

Trading isn’t about being right every time. It’s about protecting your capital, managing your emotions, and staying grounded. Every week carries a lesson—if we slow down enough to notice it.

⚠️ Not financial advice. Always do your own research.

That’s a wrap for this week. Step away from the charts, give your mind a break, and reconnect with what truly matters. Inn Shaa Allah, see you next Saturday.

May your weekend be calm and filled with barakah 🌙✨

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!

Cheers & Regards,
