Fedspeak vs. war deal: Here are the things that drove this week's stock market

The article is a broad weekly market commentary on what drove U.S. equities, highlighting the tug-of-war between Federal Reserve commentary and geopolitical developments, including a war deal. It also references broader investor focus on themes such as Amazon’s AI chip ambitions and selective stock-specific opportunities, but it does not present a single catalyst for the S&P 500 beyond general market sentiment. Overall, the piece frames the week as one of recovery and rotation after an earlier Fed-related slump, with macro headlines dominating index direction.
