News:
Last week, markets digested inflation data, FOMC minutes, a new Middle East conflict, and the first round of earnings.
It took the news in stride but failed to move significantly in either direction.
On Friday, the indexes settled mixed with a bearish tilt. This close came after a green open…
- Dow Jones +0.1%
- Nasdaq -1.2%
- S&P 500 -0.5%
- Russell 2000 -0.8%
Sector Round Up
The indexes split, too. 6 of the 11 sectors closed red. But the biggest move was green.
At the top…
- Energy (XLE) +2.2%
- Utilities (XLU) +1.1%
- Consumer Staples (XLP) +0.9%
At the bottom…
- Communications (XLC) -1.1%
- Technology (XLK) -1.4%
- Consumer Discretionary (XLY) -1.5%
