Conclusion
Falling US markets, rising oil prices, rising US-China tensions – it feels like we are back to the worst of 2022.
US stocks had a terrible week. The Nasdaq fell 0.61% on Friday, giving him a 2.41% loss in the week. The Dow he’s up 0.5% and the S&P he’s up 0.2%, but the S&P turned to its worst weekly performance in almost two months and still ended the week lower.
Energy prices are also rising. April’s Brent contract, which covers oil from Europe’s North Sea, rose more than 8% in a week to $86.39 a barrel. US West Texas Central crude futures rose 8.63% to $79.72 a barrel over the week. This is his highest since October. Those prices each surged about 2% on Friday after Russia announced it would cut oil production next month in retaliation for Western sanctions.
US-China relations are deteriorating. After the United States shot down a suspected reconnaissance balloon last week, the Commerce Department has imposed sanctions on six Chinese aerospace companies for aiding Chinese espionage. On Sunday, US forces shot down his fourth unidentified object — his second on Friday and his third over the Yukon on Saturday. The object’s origin is still unknown, but more sanctions are increasingly likely.
Meanwhile, investors are watching for renewed momentum in the US consumer price index in January. The numbers show whether we will be forced to relive the dark days of 2022, or whether there is hope for at least one part of the economy: the American consumer.
