E-mini S&P 500 futures rallied to close out the week near 7775, advancing over 3% from the previous Friday's close. The move was supported by a weaker-than-expected payroll report and easing Middle East tensions, which tempered rate hike expectations for upcoming FOMC meetings. Equity gains pushed volatility lower toward year-to-date lows. Looking ahead, market focus shifts to upcoming inflation data, including CPI and PPI, alongside retail sales, corporate earnings, and comments from Federal Reserve officials.
