US equity markets fluctuated wildly in a tumultuous week - ultimately ending with the best weekly gains since November 2023 - after the White House announced a delay on the most "reciprocal" tariffs. Following several days of extreme volatility in which tremors of instability were felt across global markets, investors exhaled as the Administration's tariff messaging pivoted from "retribution" and "score-settling" to dealmaking. Government bond markets were in focus throughout the week as the 10-Year Treasury experienced significant and still-unexplained weakness, failing to act as typical "safe havens" during the market plunge.

First Industrial Realty Trust (FR) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
