I think it goes without saying that everyone loves to make money—especially passive income—and it's for this reason that dividend stocks are having a moment right now.

U.S. equity markets notched another series of record highs this past week after the Federal Reserve resumed its rate-cutting cycle following a nine-month pause and affirmed a "cautiously dovish" pivot. The Fed's decision to lower rates by a quarter point to 4.25% carried surprising unity following months of contentious political maneuvering, with all 12 members backing a rate cut. A bit unsettling for policymakers, longer-term yields rose this week, driven primarily by surprisingly solid retail sales and a dip in initial jobless claims that reversed a prior-week surge.

U.S. equity markets surged to fresh record-highs as investors cheered a confluence of positive headlines: a temporary ceasefire in the Middle East, productive trade talks, and progress on tax cuts. Oil prices tumbled after the U.S. destroyed a trio of Iranian nuclear facilities in a formidable and decisive show of force, eliciting a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Traders priced in additional rate cuts as tumbling oil prices and economic data that remains devoid of meaningful inflation prompted dovish dissents from several Fed officials.

US equity markets rallied this week, capping off the best monthly gains since November 2023, as investors weighed encouraging inflation data against a whipsaw of court rulings on tariffs. Extending the on-again-off-again tariff saga, a trade court ruled that the tariffs were procedurally invalid, but an Appeals court paused the block, likely sending the decision to the Supreme Court. Rebounding from declines of 2.6% last week, the S&P 500 rallied 1.8% this week, closing within 4% of its February record highs.
