📉 TL;DR – The Week in 60 Seconds
Stocks slid for a fifth straight week as a mix of war risk and rates kept buyers on the sidelines. Hopes for progress in U.S.–Iran negotiations faded, keeping oil fear—and inflation worry—in the driver’s seat. A late-week selloff pushed the S&P 500 closer to correction* territory.
Tech and other rate-sensitive growth names led the slide, while small caps held up better. Gold ended basically flat as safe-haven buying fought forced selling, and the dollar firmed. This week’s swing factor is whether oil cools—or spikes again—alongside the next batch of U.S. data and Fed commentary.
