📉 TL;DR – The Week in 60 Seconds
Oil above $100 kept markets on the back foot, and U.S. stocks logged a third straight weekly drop again. Investors priced in fewer near-term rate cuts after a softer growth backdrop (Q4 GDP was revised down) collided with war-driven energy inflation. Big tech and small caps did most of the bleeding, while energy was the rare bright spot.
Gold and silver fell with a stronger dollar, even as safe-haven talk stayed loud. Bitcoin bucked the gloom and finished higher. Next up, is the Federal Reserve’s rate decision Wednesday: a hold is expected, but any hint of fewer cuts could keep volatility elevated. Until then, expect headline-driven moves, especially around oil headlines and geopolitics.
