For January, the Dallas Fed Manufacturing Index climbed to -1.2, noticeably topping the -8.5 estimate. This marks a recovery from the prior reading of -11.3, which was a downward revision from -10.9. Underlying data shows that shipments, employment, new orders, and production all improved, successfully moving into expansion. At the same time, we saw figures for prices paid and prices received both move higher.
Greetings. I am in the process of creating a new video collection intended to address the most urgent inquiries from investors. My focus will be on market leadership trends this year, specifically looking at examples like the Mag7 to see if their dominance is waning. I invite you to mention in the replies what subjects you want me to include.
It is Monday, which means I will be collaborating with @JoeMazzolaCS for #LizAnnLive on #SchwabLearn. Our broadcast is set for 3-3:30pm ET. Today features an open forum format, so I invite you to watch and submit your questions. Access the event here: https://www.schwab.com/learn
New data for November reveals that orders for core capital goods experienced a month-over-month increase of +0.7%, stepping up from the prior recording of +0.3%. Meanwhile, shipments for core capital goods recorded a rise of +0.4%, compared to the previous figure of +0.8%.
Here is the compiled data for the current week.
A broad rotation among investment factors is currently unfolding, effectively reversing the trends we saw previously. With the sole exception of High Beta, the market dynamic has shifted so that last year's top performers are now lagging, while indices that struggled before are taking the lead so far in 2026. The S&P 500 Momentum index highlights this dramatic change. After declining 1.7% in the past week, it has become the only U.S. equity factor index reported by @SPDJIndices to post a loss for the year. This represents a stark turnaround for Momentum, which finished last year in second place, trailing only High Beta.
Even though the S&P 500 recouped the majority of its losses from the sell-off on Tuesday, the index ultimately closed the week lower by -0.3%. This represents the first occurrence of back-to-back weekly losses since last April. Among large-cap sectors, Energy proved to be the top performer with a gain of +3.5%, whereas Financials endured the most significant drop at -2.5%. @SPDJIndices

On a completely unrelated subject, there are two unavailable products that I genuinely long for. I am referring to Good Humor Toasted Almond bars and Lime Diet Coke. Even though the soda was re-released for a brief period recently, it has unfortunately become unavailable once more.
I am looking forward to joining @JackOtter for the @barronsonline #Roundtable, which airs on @FoxBusiness at 7:30pm ET this evening.
