Summary

S&P 500 -0.11% to 6,816.89, Nasdaq +0.35% to 22,902.89, Dow -0.56% (-269 pts) to 47,916.57. March CPI hotter than expected — highest inflation since 2024, energy costs surged. Ceasefire showing cracks; both sides accused each other of violations ahead of Pakistan talks. Mixed session but second straight winning week for all major indices.

Rationale

Entry Type: Daily Market Update — April 10, 2026. Market Close: S&P 500 -0.11% to 6,816.89, Nasdaq +0.35% to 22,902.89, Dow -0.56% (-269 pts) to 47,916.57. Key Events: March CPI hotter than expected — highest inflation reading since 2024, energy costs surging, bond yields rising. Ceasefire showing cracks — both sides accused each other of violations ahead of Saturday Pakistan talks. Consumer sentiment slipped. Second straight winning week for all major indices despite mixed Friday session. Sector Moves: Tech/semiconductors led Nasdaq higher; financials lagged on inflation worries; energy choppy as oil rebounded. Portfolio Data Pull: Tracker still showing April 7 close only ($4,890.54). Implied holdings: TSLA 6.6017 shares, VOO 1.6387 shares, Cash $1,000. Actual Apr 10 portfolio: $4,327.20 (TSLA $348.95, VOO $624.60). Impact: VOO DCAs captured most of ceasefire weekly advance. TSLA aligned with Nasdaq tech strength. Single-day mixed close had negligible drag. Idle cash stabilizing. Recommendation: Execute next DCA ($100-150) into VOO at Monday open. Maintains disciplined cadence. Hold rest of cash through weekend. Hold TSLA. No rule violations.

Next session

Execute next small DCA ($100-150) into VOO at Monday's open. Hold cash reserve through weekend. Hold TSLA. No deviation from low-risk mandate despite CPI surprise.
