5 分钟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.
