Hi everyone,

It was a massive session. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at new all-time highs today, April 15, 2026.

The standout milestone was the S&P 500 breaching the 7,000 mark for the first time in history. People can be eating grass and war can be everywhere, we will still keep grinding.

The rally was largely fueled by hopes of a definitive peace deal between the U.S. and Iran. Comments regarding a “two-week ceasefire” extension and productive negotiations have shifted the narrative from recession fears to a “risk-on” recovery.

The Nasdaq’s outperformance (up 11 straight sessions) was driven by Mega Caps. Tesla surged over 7%, while Microsoft and Oracle both posted gains above 4%.

We posted ORCL 0.00%↑ for you yesterday, it hit our target perfectly.

Our MSFT 0.00%↑ analysis and dip buy at $360 now brought over 15% in return and we’re also hitting a resistance.

Financials provided a solid tailwind, with Bank of America BAC 0.00%↑ and Morgan Stanley MS 0.00%↑ both exceeding analyst estimates, signaling consumer and corporate resilience.

The Fed’s report showed “slight to modest” growth. While it noted consumer strain in some districts, the market took the “moderate” price growth as a sign that the Fed won’t need to tighten further if the geopolitical situation stabilizes.
