Unify Financial Advisors Weekly Market Update
Equities traded mixed as investors analyzed fourth-quarter earnings, economic reports, and the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates at 3.50%-3.75%. The S&P 500 was one of the few indexes to end the week higher, gaining 0.34% and surpassing the 7,000 level for the first time.
The Producer Price Index for final demand increased 0.5 percent in December, seasonally adjusted. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand rose 3.0 percent in 2025, after rising 3.5 percent in 2024.
Weekly Outlook

We will also follow this week’s earnings reports with Uber, Google, and Amazon, to name a few. Alongside economic data and earnings, Super Bowl week may offer a preliminary read on consumer demand, particularly across advertising, travel, and entertainment spending.
