S&P 500 under pressure: positive signals fail to lift gloomy outlook

Despite encouraging statements about progress in trade negotiations and high-level diplomatic visits, forecasts for the S&P 500 remain restrained. Analysts point to the index's lack of growth compared to its European counterparts, signaling a loss of competitive edge for the US market.

The downgraded US credit rating added to the pressure, intensifying concerns about economic resilience and the potential for continued downward momentum.

US market ends week with gains, but consumer sentiment sparks concern

US equity indices closed the week higher, reflecting short-term investor optimism. However, the release of data showing a decline in consumer confidence and rising inflation expectations has stirred unease in the market, particularly given the ongoing pressure on household purchasing power.

In addition, Moody's downgrade of the sovereign credit rating has cast doubt on the outlook for a stable recovery. This raises the likelihood of a market correction in the coming weeks.
