  • Hey listeners, it's Saturday, March 8th.

  • I'm Francesca Fontana for the Wall Street Journal and this is what's news in markets,

  • Our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.

  • Let's get to it.

  • Trade, trade, trade.

  • That was the big story in the stock market as investors

  • and portfolio managers grappled with fears about US Economic performance

  • amid a ton of policy uncertainty.

  • Don't worry if you missed the latest on all the rapid fire.

  • Tariff UPD will run through those in a bit.

  • On a broader level, we've been seeing US Consumer confidence slipping on fears of rising prices,

  • which was a thread we saw in some of the retail movers this week.

  • I'll come back to those in a minute too.

  • Then of course,

  • there was Thursday's big sell off with chip stocks in particular getting hammered

  • as investors searched through AI chip makers results looking for the next big thing,

  • the next Nvidia, if you will.

  • And while the indexes managed to end Friday in the black, they each notched losses for the week.

  • The Dow fell more than 2%, the S&P lost more than 3% and the Nasdaq fell about 3.5%.

  • First up, let's set our target on Target, the red bullseye, the American retail giant.
