Good MorningStocks ended a volatile week on stable footing, rising on Friday to close off the weekly low. Volatility was driven by fears of inflation and slowing growth, which have sapped investor appetite. A relatively good earnings report from NVIDIA did little to calm frayed nerves, although it affirmed the outlook for AI spending.
Next week's hurdle is the monthly labor data. The news needs to be just right — not too hot nor too cold, not too hot to reinvigorate fears of inflation or renew the fear of a recession. Featured: Is This the New Normal for Gold? (Ad)

From Our Partners | | What I bought is tokenized gold. Real gold in a professional vault… held as a digital token in a wallet only I control. Now compare that to how most people own gold. You call a dealer and pay a premium over the gold price. You wait for it to ship… then you find somewhere to hide it.
And when you want out? It gets worse. Buy a 1 oz gold coin from a dealer and sell it back, and about 4% to 8% of your money is typically gone. Plus, physical gold holders wait days for dealers to verify the gold and pay them.
Tokenized gold? You can sell it any hour, any day, even on a Sunday night, for a small trading fee. So when you need your money, which would you rather own? Gold that takes days to sell… or gold you can sell in seconds? | | Click here to see how tokenized gold works. |
