YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the U.S. market close on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Katie Greifeld, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
Hopes for another buoyant day across asset classes were deflated at midday over concern President Donald Trump is cooling on his dovish front runner to head the Federal Reserve.
Treasuries dropped across the curve as traders slightly dialed back expectations for Fed rate cuts this year.
The S&P 500 struggled to gain traction on Friday despite a rally in giant chipmakers, and finished lower for the week. Small caps kept rising, with the Russell 2000 beating the US equity benchmark for an 11th straight session.
Trump on Friday said if Kevin Hassett were to leave his post as director of the White House National Economic Council, it would deprive the administration of one of its most powerful messengers on the economy. He has been seen as a top contender to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
The S&P 500 was little changed. A closely watched gauge of chipmakers climbed 1.1%. The Russell 2000 added 0.1%. The yield on 10-year Treasuries climbed six basis points to 4.22%. The dollar wavered. US markets will close Monday for a federal holiday.
