상승 영향

- Financials — Robust economic growth and potential for higher-for-longer interest rates improve bank net interest margins, positively impacting financial stocks.
- Crude Oil/Industrials — Increased economic activity directly translates to higher demand for crude oil and industrial goods, positively affecting these sectors' performance.
하락 영향
- Bonds — Stronger economic data raises the likelihood of the Fed delaying rate cuts, pushing bond yields up and lowering bond prices.
