As of Wednesday, July 15, 2026 (4:00 PM ET close), the S&P 500 closed at 7,572.40, up +0.38% on the session versus Tuesday July 14's 7,543.59 close. The Wednesday tape was a broad disinflationary rally — led by consumer discretionary and financials rather than technology, which lagged on rate-sensitivity headwinds. The catalyst was confirmed: June PPI printed -0.3% MoM headline (the first monthly decline since August 2025, per BLS) and +0.1% MoM core (+5.1% YoY) — a disinflationary print following Tuesday's soft June CPI. XLY led (+0.69%), XLF climbed (+0.68%) as Morgan Stanley ($21.3B revenue, $3.46 EPS) and Bank of America printed Q2 results; BlackRock reported $15.3T in AUM with $192B in quarterly net inflows. Tech lagged (XLK -1.02%) on rate headwinds. The 1-month target level of 7,500 is exceeded — current sits 0.97% above the level; the 3-month target of 7,600 sits 0.36% above current; year-end 7,800 is 3.00% above current.
