To The Moon

Wall Street starts the week with renewed momentum.

After last week's volatility, investors returned to one familiar theme: Artificial Intelligence.

Market recap: • Dow Jones: +0.29% (another record close) • $S&P 500(.SPX)$ : +0.72% • $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ : +1.12%

Chip stocks rebounded, AI leaders regained traction, and optimism returned to the market. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$

But perhaps the biggest story isn't the comeback of AI. It's what is happening outside the AI trade.

AI Remains the Engine…

Last week's semiconductor selloff raised concerns that the AI rally might finally be losing steam.

Monday's session suggested otherwise. Investors stepped back into AI-related names, viewing the recent pullback as a healthy reset rather than the beginning of a broader correction.

In other words, enthusiasm hasn't disappeared, it has simply become more selective.

…While the Rest of the Market Keeps Catching Up

One of the healthiest developments in recent weeks has been the continued broadening of the rally.

Economic growth remains resilient. Corporate earnings continue to exceed expectations.

Inflation pressures are easing. And sectors beyond mega-cap technology are increasingly contributing to market gains. For investors, that's an encouraging combination.

Bull markets tend to become more durable when leadership expands rather than relying on just a handful of stocks.

Lower Oil, Stronger Earnings, Cooling Inflation

Several macro trends are quietly supporting equities:

• Oil prices continue to decline.

Aramco

• Gold is attracting defensive buyers without triggering panic.

• Inflation expectations remain well contained.

• The U.S. economy continues to grow without showing signs of overheating.

It's the kind of backdrop many investors dream about.

Some strategists are even describing today's environment as the closest thing to a "Goldilocks" market in years, where growth is strong enough to support earnings, but not so strong that it reignites inflation.

The key question is whether this balance can last.

Don't Overlook the Airline Sector

While AI dominates headlines, another industry has quietly become one of 2026's strongest performers. Major U.S. airlines, including $Delta Air Lines(DAL)$ , United Airlines, and American Airlines, have outperformed the S&P 500 this year.

Why? Instead of competing on the cheapest fares, airlines are increasingly focusing on premium travelers, loyalty programs, international routes, and higher-margin services. With Delta kicking off earnings season later this week, investors will be watching closely to see whether this surprising momentum can continue.

The Big Question

For the past two years, AI has driven much of the market's gains. Now, we're seeing signs of something different:

AI is recovering... while more sectors are joining the rally.

Which scenario do you believe is more likely for the second half of 2026?

1. AI remains the market's dominant growth engine.

2. Leadership broadens, with Industrials, Financials, Healthcare and even Airlines, taking a larger share of the gains.
