US market data is mixed. The job market remains strong, as confirmed by low weekly jobless claims. However, business concerns about the impact of Trump's trade policy on the US economy are reflected in the Philadelphia Fed report, which showed a significant drop in the main industrial index and new orders. In turn, the price sub-index rose, suggesting pressure from new tariffs.
