Assalamu’alaikum & hey traders, how’s your week treating you?

Whether you’ve been riding the highs, learning from the lows, or just trying to keep your head above water—credit where it’s due. Trading isn’t easy, and I see the grind you’re putting in. Let’s take a moment to pause, breathe, and gather ourselves before we dive into the weekend.

📊 Friday Market Wrap – Let’s Recap

Before we shut down the charts and switch off for some rest, here’s a quick look back at what happened in the markets this week.

Minutes Chart:

📉 This Week in the Markets

The bulls showed up again!

U.S. equity markets bounced back, powered by strong gains in tech and consumer discretionary stocks. Corporate earnings came in better than expected, boosting growth forecasts. The services sector—still the engine of GDP—kept expanding, and higher labor productivity helped keep labor costs in check.

Daily charts:

A big catalyst? President Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on imported semiconductors, which sent chipmakers and Apple rallying. On the flip side, Caterpillar and Eli Lilly dragged on the Dow. Even with a bit of volatility and profit-taking, the main indexes stayed on course for solid weekly gains, supported by a resilient economy and strong earnings momentum.

💬 Your Turn

Do you think this bounce has legs, or is it just a pit stop before more turbulence? Drop your thoughts below—always love hearing your take on the market mood.

🌱 Little Reminder for the Journey

Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Some stretches feel smooth, others test your patience. The goal isn’t to rush to the finish line—it’s to keep moving forward with discipline, purpose, and a clear head. Manage your risks, stick to your plan, and trust the process.

⚠️ Quick Note

This isn’t financial advice—just sharing what I’m seeing out there. Always do your own research and talk to a licensed advisor if you need guidance.

That’s all from me for this week.

Take a deep breath, recharge, and Inn Shaa Allah, we’ll catch up again next Friday.

Stay safe, stay focused, and enjoy your weekend. 🌙✨

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!

Cheers & Regards,
