8-13-2026: Tight Ranges, Falling Yields + AI Compute FinancingEric Criscuolo, Market Strategist at the NYSE, reviews a quiet week on Wall Street marked by tight trading ranges, cooling inflation, and a major new AI financing development. The S&P 500 consolidated near all-time highs before breaking through 7,800 for the first time on Thursday, lifted in part by Nvidia's partnership with major Wall Street firms to launch a $500 billion compute financing platform. In-line CPI and a cooler-than-expected PPI pushed yields lower across the curve, with the long end finally joining the downtrend. Looking ahead, markets will turn their attention to FOMC meeting minutes, August Flash PMIs, and earnings from consumer and housing bellwethers including Walmart, Home Depot, and Deere.
