As of Tuesday, July 14, 2026 (4:00 PM ET close), the S&P 500 closed at 7,543.59, up +0.38% on the session versus Monday July 13's 7,515.34 close. The Tuesday tape was a textbook disinflationary relief rally triggered by a soft June CPI print at 8:30 AM ET: headline CPI printed -0.4% MoM (the largest single-month decline since April 2020) and +3.5% YoY (down from +4.2% in May), with core CPI flat at 0.0% MoM and +2.6% YoY — every line item below consensus. Technology led the rebound (XLK +1.36%, QQQ +1.15%) as real yields rolled over; defensives unwound the pre-CPI bid (XLP -1.28%, XLV -1.92%); energy held (XLE +0.37%, WTI +2.05% to $79.74); the VIX fell 4.08% to 16.46. The 1-month target level of 7,500 is now exceeded — current sits 0.58% above the level; the 3-month target of 7,600 sits 0.75% above current; year-end 7,800 is 3.40% above current. Desk judgment: ~85% probability the 1-month target holds through the July 17 close.
