S&P 500 extends weekly win streak despite weak Trump-Xi summit signals

The S&P 500 extended its weekly winning streak despite a lukewarm U.S.–China summit, indicating investor focus remains on domestic earnings momentum and Fed policy rather than geopolitical headlines. Market resilience signals continued confidence in Q2 guidance-beat momentum.

For enterprise CFOs and tech sector investors, the index's strength reflects appetite to buy dips on macro uncertainty — watch for weakness if upcoming earnings season shows softening guidance in infrastructure and software spending.
