Sunday setup. US equities stay closed today, but crypto is still live and the Middle East situation is still developing, so this is the week-ahead view with the weekend's actual moves folded in — not a note that pretends nothing happened. Where things stand going into Monday Equities: Friday July 10 closed higher — S&P 500 7,575.39 (+0.42%), Nasdaq 26,281.61 (+0.29%), Dow 52,637.01 (+0.29%), Russell 2000 softer at 2,977.81 (-0.49%). Carry those as context into the reopen. Crypto (live over the weekend): Bitcoin held in the 64,000s after firming into the weekend, with the 64,400 area the near-term line to clear toward the mid-June high near 67,250; Ethereum sat near 1,795 dollars. Sentiment has stayed firm on ETF inflows and pending US crypto legislation. Energy and geopolitics: oil stayed bid — WTI near 71.8 dollars, up nearly 5% on the week — on Strait of Hormuz supply-disruption risk after tanker attacks, US strikes, and the ceasefire being called off. This is the standing risk into the new week. What is on the calendar for the week of July 13 Earnings season begins to ramp — the large US banks traditionally open the reporting season in mid-July, so single-name results and guidance become a main driver. Geopolitics: the Strait of Hormuz situation is the live wildcard for oil and, through it, inflation and rates. Macro inputs: the path of Treasury yields (10-year near 4.56% at Friday's close) and energy prices. Next FOMC decision: July 28 to 29 — not this week, but expectations will shift as data and headlines print. These are the scheduled and standing items; confirm exact release times on primary sources before acting. What this means for your system Two things are moving while the stock market sleeps: crypto and oil. Set your week up so neither catches you flat — know your crypto exposure in units, know what an oil spike does to your read on rates, and treat the first bank earnings as information rather than a reason to chase. Three things worth doing before the open

Weekend check-in. US equity markets are closed Saturday and Sunday, so the stock indexes carry Friday's closing marks — but crypto trades around the clock and the geopolitical picture kept moving over the weekend, so this is not a quiet one. Here is what actually changed and what to watch into Monday. Stocks — where Friday July 10 closed (last equity session) Stocks finished the week higher. S&P 500 7,575.39 (+0.42%), Nasdaq Composite 26,281.61 (+0.29%), Dow 52,637.01 (+0.29%); the small-cap Russell 2000 lagged at 2,977.81 (-0.49%). A chip-led rebound and the US market debut of SK Hynix carried the tape into the close, and both the S&P and Nasdaq notched a weekly gain. These are the standing equity marks until Monday's reopen. Crypto — still trading through the weekend Unlike stocks, crypto does not close. Over the weekend Bitcoin firmed to roughly 64,200 dollars, up about 1.4% on the day and retesting the 64,400 area it stalled at earlier in the week; a clear break higher would put the mid-June peak near 67,250 back in view. Ethereum traded around 1,795 dollars, up about 2.6%. Total crypto market value rose on the order of 1% over 24 hours. The bid has held up on ETF inflows and steady sentiment around pending US crypto legislation — notable because it came even as the Middle East situation escalated. Treat these as live weekend marks; they move continuously. Geopolitics — the weekend's real variable The Strait of Hormuz is back in focus. Following attacks on tankers transiting the strait and US retaliatory strikes, the ceasefire has been called off, and energy markets are pricing supply-disruption risk. WTI crude ran up over the week to roughly 71.8 dollars a barrel, a weekly gain of nearly 5%, driven mainly by that Hormuz risk. Energy is the fastest route from a geopolitical headline to an inflation-and-rates reaction, so this is the input to watch first into Monday. Market calendar Saturday July 11 and Sunday July 12: US equities closed; crypto trades continuously.
