Last Week: U.S. indexes fell for the third second consecutive week, closing at its lowest level on the year as investors weighed geopolitical tensions and mixed economic data. The Dow dropped 2% for the week, while the S&P 500 (1.6%) and Nasdaq 1.3% fell as well. Despite the struggles this month, the S&P 500 is just 5% below its all-time high set earlier this year. For commodities, oil prices surged above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022 as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained at a standstill since the war in Iran. Meanwhile, U.S. economic data showed softer growth and persistent inflation pressures. Q4 GDP was revised down to a 0.7% from 1.4%, while core PCE inflation — the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge — came in hotter than expected, pushing expectations for potential rate cuts further out.
