6 分钟Hey listeners, your money briefing is on a break,
but we'll be back with more personal finance information for you in the future.
Until then, here's the news moving markets this week.
Hey listeners, it's Saturday, October 11th.
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.
The stock market was chugging along this week,
with indexes hitting records and shrugging off some doubts about the AI boom.
Then, on Friday, things took a turn.
A pretty steep one.
US stocks gave up their gains for the week on Friday after President Trump posted on TruthSocial that he may cancel a planned meeting with China's leader and threatened a,
quote, massive increase in tariffs on products from China.
We saw chip stocks take a tumble, so did oil prices, but do you know what was up?
Good old fear.
Wall Street's fear gauge, aka the Sebo Market Volatility Index,
was flying higher, with its percentage gain hitting double digits during Friday's session.
All in all, the three major indexes ended the week lower.
The S&P 500 fell 2.4%, the Dow fell 2.7%, and the NASDAQ fell 2.5%.
We just went over what went wrong, so to speak, in the stock market.
