Markets have been on a rollercoaster ever since President Donald Trump declared “Liberation Day,” unleashing a blur of tariff impositions, reversals, reimpositions, retaliatory blows, and exemptions.

For the week ending April 11, U.S. indexes swung wildly — but ended up clawing back some of the ground lost earlier. The S&P 500 closed the week up 8.2%, while the Dow flirted with record territory but ended with a more modest 6% gain. The Nasdaq, powered by dip-buying in bruised Big Tech names, finished roughly 12% above its Monday lows.

On Friday, first-quarter bank earnings arrived with a dose of realism: JPMorgan Chase (JPM+4.84%), BlackRock (BLK+3.01%), and Morgan Stanley (MS+2.05%) all posted strong results but struck a cautious tone on the economic outlook. At the same time, consumer sentiment slumped to its lowest level since 2022.

The safe-haven scramble also continued. Gold soared to a record $3,254.90 per ounce on Friday, and the 10-year Treasury yield spiked to 4.57% — its biggest weekly jump in decades. Analysts cited growing unease over policy volatility, while The Wall Street Journal noted mounting hedging activity and foreign investors shifting away from U.S. debt.

Now comes another high-stakes week, with major companies across finance, healthcare, media, and logistics set to report results. Earnings from Goldman Sachs (GS+1.39%), Netflix (NFLX-0.29%), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ+2.19%), UnitedHealth (UNH+0.92%), CSX (CSX+0.74%), and Kinder Morgan (KMI+2.58%) will offer a fresh read on everything from M&A to supply chains and consumers’ streaming preferences.

Wednesday, April 16

Thursday, April 17

Thursday brings a mix of corporate and economic data with the potential to move markets.
