  • Wall Street ends the week higher. The main U.S. indexes are up about 0.5% today. The exception is the Russell 2000, whose futures are gaining nearly 2% on macroeconomic data that fuels hopes for interest-rate cuts. Companies in this index stand to benefit the most. Despite Friday’s upbeat session, the indexes are ending noticeably below Monday’s opening levels.

On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.2% versus the expected 0.3%. Core inflation met the target, coming in at 2.5% year over year and 0.3% month over month.
  • The tech earnings season is still ongoing. Arista Networks and Applied Materials surprised to the upside, rising by (more than) 5% and 8%, respectively.
  • A mixed session in Europe. Moderate gains, capped at 0.5%, were posted by the DAX, Switzerland’s SMI, and the FTSE 100. Among the biggest decliners are Italy’s FTSE MIB, Poland’s WIG20, and Spain’s IBEX 35, where losses exceed 1.5%. The CAC 40 is holding up better, with losses limited to 0.4%.
  • Eurostat published preliminary data on economic growth in the European Union, which came in in line with expectations. EU GDP rose 1.3% year over year, while quarterly growth was 0.3%.
