Stock Market Update Friday July 24, 2026 Stocks ended little changed after a midday rebound attempt lost momentum into the close, leaving the S&P 500 down 1% for the week. Market breadth remained mixed as investors balanced earnings results, geopolitical developments, and expectations for next week’s FOMC meeting.
Away From Stocks: Treasurys saw a modest bull-steepening, with yields falling across the board (2-year at 4.33%, 30-year at 5.16%), suggesting better inflation and policy outlook. Commodities mixed: WTI crude fell to $90 due to easing Middle East tensions, gold held at $4,050 on safe-haven demand, and Bitcoin slipped to $64,000. Volatility (VIX at 18.5) remained contained despite equity weakness.
