S&P 500 Posts Weekly Gain as Markets Eye Trade, Earnings
Sevens Report highlights focus on Japan deal and earnings outlook
US Stocks End Little Changed With S&P 500 Notching Weekly Gain
MARKET STAYS FLAT — BUT GAINS HOLD
U.S. stocks ended little changed Friday, with the S&P 500 securing a weekly gain as traders look ahead to trade negotiations and earnings.
Tom Essaye of the Sevens Report notes:
“Focus will stay on trade and earnings. The Japan deal will raise hopes a similar deal with the EU can be stuck before next Friday.”
Despite geopolitical noise and inflation concerns earlier in the week, markets have stayed resilient — for now.
Next catalysts: corporate earnings season and potential EU trade developments.
