- S&P 500 and Dow Jones hit three-month highs; technology stocks advance.
- Better-than-expected job data calms economic fears.
- Investors show caution amid trade policy concerns.
Major US stock indexes, including the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, closed at three-month highs this week, driven by positive job data.
The S&P 500’s rise reflects easing economic concerns, although trade policy worries persist, impacting US stock fund outflows amid significant investor caution.
US Indices Surge Led by Technology Stocks
The week saw major US stock indexes, including the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, reach three-month highs. This increase was largely due to a better-than-expected non-farm payrolls report, alleviating economic concerns. Technology stocks, notably Tesla, showed strong recovery after prior declines.
Despite positive market movements, US stock funds experienced continued capital outflows. Investors remain wary of potential US trade policy changes, contributing to ongoing sentiment shifts. Financial expert Tom Lee noted, “The ongoing outflows reflect a cautious stance amid policy uncertainty.”
Reactions from the financial community have been mixed. While some investors express optimism, caution persists due to policy risks. Donald Trump’s public call for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 100 basis points has stirred debate, though Fed officials have not issued any formal response.
“I suspect that the lower boundary of this range might be defined by the S&P’s intraday April low of 4,835, while recent highs of near 6,000 could prove to be the upper boundary… the bull market that started in October 2022 may well have ended in February 2025, and that a new bear market may now be underway. That said, it might be a modest one.” – Fidelity Investment Analyst
