Evening Market Recap - Tuesday, 12-May
The FactSet Evening Market Recap for May 12 highlighted a broadly lower U.S. equity session, with the Dow up 0.11 % but the S&P 500 down 0.16 %, the Nasdaq slipping 0.71 % and the Russell 2000 falling 0.97 %. Energy stocks led gains as WTI crude surged past $100 a barrel, lifting the sector while most other groups lagged. Treasury yields rose again, the 10‑year cracking 4 % and the 30‑year back above 5 %, and the dollar held steady. Core CPI matched expectations, but shelter costs rose, keeping inflation concerns alive despite a modest April CPI print. Corporate results were mixed: Quantum, Venture Global and Zebra beat forecasts, whereas AST SpaceMobile, GitLab and Under Armour missed or cut guidance, often citing AI‑related workforce reductions. The market also absorbed geopolitical chatter around the U.S.–Iran standoff and the upcoming Trump‑Sheikh summit, with President Trump framing it as a trade issue. The combination of higher yields, persistent price pressures and AI‑driven cost cuts signals a continued risk‑off tone and suggests the Federal Reserve may keep tightening through year‑end, pressuring consumer‑sensitive sectors and prompting investors to favor defensive and energy‑linked positions.
