| January 31, 2026 | Unsubscribe | Good Morning! | Hope you had a good week. Before we get into the news, a quick note. We have new small cap stock alerts coming next week, so keep an eye on your inbox. | Now let's look at what happened in the market this week and what to watch next. | Market Recap | This week had a clear story: policy headlines, earnings, and interest rates all mattered. | The Federal Reserve held rates steady at its January meeting. Investors took that as a sign the Fed is willing to wait and watch the data before making its next move. | Later in the week, markets reacted to a major Fed leadership headline. President Trump named Kevin Warsh as his pick to lead the Fed when Jerome Powell's term ends in May. That created a quick risk off move on Friday. | Inflation stayed in focus. A hot producer inflation report late in the week reminded investors that price pressure is not gone. Bond yields moved higher, and that helped push the U.S. dollar up. | Earnings were a big driver too. Several mega cap and household name companies reported, and the market was picky. When results or guidance fell short, stocks sold off fast. When results were solid, stocks held up well. Investors also kept asking the same question: can big spending on AI keep producing real growth. | By the close, the S&P 500 finished the week slightly higher, while the Dow and Nasdaq finished slightly lower. It was a mixed week, but not a chaotic one. | Small caps were a bright spot for January. The Russell 2000 finished the month up more than 5%. That matters for our audience because it shows continued interest in smaller companies as the year gets started. | What's Coming Next Week | Next week will feel busier. | Earnings season accelerates. More companies across tech, healthcare, and consumer sectors report. Guidance will matter more than headlines, especially comments on demand and profit margins. | Jobs data is the next major report. Investors will watch hiring and wage growth closely because it can change rate expectations quickly. | Markets will also track bond yields. If yields stay elevated, investors may remain selective. If yields calm down, risk appetite may improve. | February Themes to Watch | February is when the market usually gets more decisive. | More earnings will reshape leadership. Strong reports can create new winners, and weak guidance can be punished. | Inflation becomes a headline again with the next CPI report in mid February. | We also get the Fed's January meeting minutes in mid February. Traders will read every line for clues about the next rate move. | Big picture, February often tests whether the early year rally has real support. Our focus stays on underfollowed small cap opportunities where momentum and catalysts can drive attention. | To get all of our updates in real-time – Click here to sign-up for free text alerts to your phone.
