Asia Markets Mixed, Europe Slips; Dollar Slides Amid Fed Uncertainty - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Tuesday, May 13th, U.S. markets closed mixed; the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq closed higher for a second day as cooling April inflation and a U.S.-China trade truce boosted investor confidence.

According to economic data, April U.S. inflation came in slightly below expectations, with headline CPI and core CPI rising by 0.2% month-over-month. Year-over-year, CPI slowed to 2.3%, while core CPI held steady at 2.8%, matching forecasts.
Six of the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 11 major sectors ended the day higher, with technology leading the gains. Healthcare was the weakest performer, posting the largest decline.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.64% to 42,140.43, the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.72% to 5,886.55, and the Nasdaq surged 1.61% to 19,010.09.

Asia And Europe Markets Advance; Gold Up On Softer Dollar - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Wednesday, April 30, U.S. markets closed mixed as the Dow and S&amp;P 500 staged a late rebound, overcoming a surprise 0.3% GDP contraction — the first in three years. Consumer spending jumped 0.7%, easing stagflation concerns, while Meta and Microsoft surged on strong earnings. AI sector jitters, tariff tensions, and Fed rate cut bets fueled market volatility, with trading volumes below average.
In economic data, U.S. GDP fell 0.3% last quarter, the first decline since 2022, missing 0.4% growth forecasts. April's ADP report showed just 62,000 new private jobs, the weakest in nine months.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended higher Wednesday, led by health care, industrials, and consumer staples, while energy and consumer discretionary lagged.

Gold Slides On Trade Optimism, Dollar Strengthens - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Tuesday, April 29, U.S. markets closed higher as investors weighed strong corporate earnings, evolving U.S.-China tariff developments, and growing recession concerns.
The Dow led the gains, while oil and gold prices declined. Canada pushed back against Trump's trade stance, and China eased certain tariffs. Market sentiment remained sensitive to political shifts, with upcoming earnings from major AI-focused tech firms and weak U.S. consumer data in focus.
On the economic front, U.S. job openings fell to 7.19 million in March, missing expectations. Wholesale inventories rose 0.5% to $908 billion, suggesting stronger stockpiling. Meanwhile, the goods trade deficit widened sharply to $162 billion, exceeding forecasts and indicating increased import demand.

3月13日（木）の米国市場は大幅下落で取引を終了、米国のインフレデータが好調にもかかわらず新たな関税が明らかになったことでS&amp;P500は<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44317410/sp-500-enters-technical-correction-as-trade-war-fears-rattle-markets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">調整</a>に入った。
投資家感情は悪化しているが、PPI(生産者物価指数)とCPI(消費者物価指数)が予想よりも落ち着いており、失業保険申請件数も微減で労働市場は強いままだった。主要な株価指数の下落材料は、「マグニフィセント・セブン」をはじめとした大手ハイテク株の大量の売り越しだった。欧州が米国の鉄鋼やアルミに対する報復関税で貿易摩擦の緊張が高まっている。
経済データでは、2月の米国の生産者物価は横ばいで1月の改定値０．6％増の後、予想の０．3％増を下回った。失業保険申請件数は2,000件減の22万件で予想の22万5000件を下回る結果だった。
S&amp;P 500のほとんどのセクターは軒並み値を下げたが、公共事業セクターの銘柄の中には上昇しているものもあった。
ダウ平均は1.30％安の40,813.57、S&amp;P500は1.39％安の5,521.52、ナスダックは1.96％安の17,303.01で取引終了。
