This week on Wall Street, the US stock market experienced a general weakening, with the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 Small Cap indices declining for the second consecutive week. Key concerns include slow economic growth, falling consumer confidence, trade policies potentially boosting inflation, and tech stocks, particularly in the semiconductor sector, facing sell-off. The PCE price index suggests some inflation relief but Trump"s trade policies introduce uncertainty. A dovish Fed outlook and yield curve inversion signal potential economic challenges, leading to mixed analyst views on the future. Next week"s focus will be on jobs data and other key economic indicators.
