The US stock market rose slightly in early Tuesday trading, continuing the gains made since the beginning of the year. Investors are watching a series of economic reports, led by employment data, to be released later this week. Although the US military's raid and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last weekend caused a stir in international politics, Wall Street's reaction was lukewarm. Some safe-haven assets such as gold and US bonds rose, but the Cboe Volatility Index, which measures the extent of market panic, remains sluggish and is below 16. Due to the tense trade situation, slowing economic growth, and ongoing variables in AI trading, the bull market still needs multiple favorable support if it wants to continue to strengthen in 2026. However, Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, pointed out that fiscal and monetary stimulus policies are still backing the market. Investors will focus on studying the S&P Global Services PMI as well as data such as factory orders and unemployment claims this week to determine the Federal Reserve's interest rate path.
