John Hancock: Weekly Market Recap Week Ended February 6

February 10, 2026

Bifurcated market

U.S. large-cap value stocks widened their year-to-date performance lead over growth stocks, marking a shift from the growth style’s dominance in recent years. A value benchmark finished 2.2% higher for the week while its growth counterpart fell 2.0%

Tech trouble

Stocks started and ended the week with rallies, helping to offset sell-offs on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday that hit technology stocks especially hard. Index results varied widely; the Dow rose 2.5% and finished above the 50,000-point level for the first time, the S&P 500 posted a fractional decline, and the NASDAQ fell 1.8%.

 

Rising sentiment

A measure of U.S. consumer sentiment rose to the highest level in six months. Friday’s preliminary survey reading from the University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment was 57.3, up from a recent low of 51.0 three months earlier. Nevertheless, the measure was well below the 64.7 reading reached 12 months ago.

 

Jobs, CPI ahead

A partial U.S. government shutdown that ended on Tuesday prompted the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to delay Friday’s scheduled release of its monthly jobs report and set a new release date of Wednesday, February 11. In addition, a Consumer Price Index report on inflation was pushed back to Friday, February 13, two days after it had originally been scheduled.
