Corporate earnings provided substantial support. General Motors surged 14.9% after raising guidance, while Bank of America and Morgan Stanley rose 4.4% and 4.7%.

"Banking performance validates U.S. economic strength," Sergio Castro Vázquez notes. "Loan quality suggests resilience beyond volatility."

Markets anticipate a quarter-point Fed rate cut, with Treasury yields at 3.955%. "The Fed needs accommodative policy without reigniting inflation," explains Sergio Castro Vázquez.

The Russell 2000 jumped 5.5% weekly. "Small-cap outperformance signals genuine optimism," observes Sergio Castro Vázquez.
