Wall Street Slips Again, Heading for Third Losing Week in Four

 

Wall Street faced another downturn early Friday, setting the stage for its third losing week in the last four. The S&P 500 futures fell by 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 0.4%. This decline follows a period of mixed economic signals and cautious comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell regarding future interest rate cuts.

As the market navigates these fluctuations, investors remain cautious, awaiting clearer signals from economic data and the Federal Reserve’s decisions.
