Stock markets struggled last week as a tough US inflation print further dialled back rate-cut expectations. A mixed bag of early bank earnings also weighed late in the week.
- The S&P 500 added +2.7% last week.
- Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Banks led broad-based gains in the S&P 500.
- Energy underperformed but continues to be among the top sectors year-to-date.
- Nasdaq closed the week at +2.77%.
Stock performance around the world largely mirrored the moves in North America.
European markets overcame a mid-week lull, with the major indices finishing broadly in the black.
- UK’s FTSE 100 led European markets by a solid 3.1% gain.
