Highlights and Lowlights
After a three-week optimistic, if modest, upward trend, all three major US indexes were in the red this past week. The DJ30 fared the worst, dropping 3.4% — its largest weekly decline in nearly eight months — while the SPX500 also reversed course, falling 1.9% and the NSDQ100 dipped 0.3%.
A revised outlook issued by the US Federal Reserve dampened investors’ moods, negatively affecting stocks and other markets. Policy makers hinted that they expect to raise interest rates by late 2023 — sooner than previously estimated — and raised their inflation forecast as well.
What’s in Store for the Week?
Reports on existing and new home sales will be released on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, in addition to weekly mortgage application statistics. US consumer sentiment and expectations for June will be reported on Friday, which are now in the shadow of the Fed’s revised projections on inflation.
