Global stock markets closed in the red on Friday, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices showing negative results. Despite the encouraging jobs report in the US, investors remain concerned about inflation and the potential rise in interest rates.
The S&P 500 index decreased by 0.08%, while Nasdaq fell by 0.5%. However, by the end of the week, S&P 500 showed an increase, while Nasdaq closed at the level of the previous week.
Analysts note that the impact of inflation and further actions from the Federal Reserve will remain key factors in the market. Investors are closing positions due to the possible tightening of monetary policy related to rising inflation.
In light of these events, investors are beginning to assess the possible implications for the market and develop strategies to minimize risks.
"Market indicators naturally react to current economic events; however, it is essential to remember that long-term perspective and portfolio diversification are key in uncertain conditions," stated financial analyst Ivanov.
