S&P 500 Posts 8th Consecutive Weekly Gain at Record 7,500 — AI and Energy Sectors Lead While Consumer Discretionary Falls 3% on Fuel-Cost Squeeze

The S&P 500 closed the week above 7,500 for the first time in its history, logging its eighth consecutive weekly advance — the longest winning streak since a nine-week run ending December 2023 — as the Dow gained 2.13% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.45%. Energy led S&P 500 sectors with a 7.03% weekly gain while Consumer Discretionary fell 3.04%, the starkest sector divergence of the year, reflecting the opposing forces of elevated crude oil on producer profits and household spending power.
