Tonight’s episode of The Gentle Ledger guides you through a calm close to a volatile week on Wall Street. We explore how the Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 all finished higher, supported by easing Treasury yields and a soft shift in investor sentiment. In corporate highlights, we gently unpack Nvidia’s powerful quarterly numbers, Ross Stores’ strong earnings beat, and the broader sector rotation taking shape beneath the surface. We then drift overseas to Asia and Europe, where markets move with measured caution, before easing into commodities, bonds, and a sharp pullback in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The episode ends with a quiet reflection on what the day’s moves signal about growth, inflation, and the path ahead. Settle in, breathe deeply, and let the week dissolve as we guide you toward a gentle goodnight.
