STATE OF THE MARKETS
Equities drifted lower as oil hovered near $100 and growth jitters deepened. US stocks finished lower on Friday, extending their losing streak to a third straight week as oil prices hovered around the $100 mark and investors reassessed the growth and inflation outlook. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped about 0.3%, or roughly 120 points, while the S&P 500 fell around 0.6% and the tech‑heavy Nasdaq declined by a similar margin, with weakness concentrated in tech and other rate‑sensitive sectors. Earlier gains faded through the afternoon as traders faded the open and continued to de‑risk into the weekend against a backdrop of elevated energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty.
In the FX space, the dollar ticked higher, supported by safe‑haven flows and the combination of firm oil prices and softer‑than‑expected GDP data that kept investors cautious on the global outlook. Commodity‑linked currencies such as the Canadian dollar struggled to translate high crude into sustained gains, with risk‑off sentiment and worries about demand destruction offsetting terms‑of‑trade tailwinds. The Euro and Sterling remained on the defensive as growth data underwhelmed and policy‑divergence narratives persisted, while classic havens like the Swiss franc and yen continued to attract interest from investors wary of an extended conflict and its knock‑on effects on energy and global activity.
