Stocks tried to bounce early in the week, but that momentum didn’t last long. The big focus was Wednesday’s Fed decision, where rates were left unchanged and the outlook still leaned toward higher for longer. At the same time, the data didn’t give much relief. Job openings held steady, but February producer prices came in hotter than expected, keeping inflation concerns front and center.
By the back half of the week, sellers were back in control. Jobless claims stayed relatively low, but growth signals were mixed, with a soft Leading Economic Index and weaker housing data not helping sentiment. Add in sticky labor cost pressures and rising oil, and the market faded into Friday. For the week, the S&P 500 dropped 1.9%, the Dow fell 2.1%, and the Nasdaq slid 2.1%, with a clean five-day trading week and no holidays.
Looking ahead to next week, the calendar is lighter but still has a few key reads. Tuesday brings revised productivity and the flash PMIs, which should give a quick pulse check on business activity. Wednesday follows with import and export prices along with the latest international transactions data. Outside of that, it’s a relatively quiet setup, and markets will be open all week. As always, respect your risk and stick to your trading plan. Godspeed.
