Wendy's Weekly STOCK MARKET Report "stocks closed last week mostly lower" Presented by Wendy Nelson
Market Week: September 29, 2025
The Markets (as of market close September 26, 2025)
Despite a rebound on Friday, stocks closed last week mostly lower. Each of the major market indexes, the S&P 500, the Dow, and the NASDAQ, declined in value following a record-setting rally that lasted several weeks. Investors pondered the impact of new tariffs on certain imports announced by President Trump, as well as mixed signals from the Federal Reserve, as inflation remained somewhat elevated, although within expectations (see below). On the plus side, gross domestic product enjoyed a strong rebound in the second quarter (see below), while jobless claims also fell, possibly suggesting a resilient labor market. Among the market sectors, big tech stocks saw some declines amid concerns that AI-fueled valuations might be too high. Shares within the health care sector slid as some pharmaceutical stocks in Asia and Europe fell in reaction to the new tariffs. Ten-year Treasury yields closed higher, rebounding from a five-month low from the previous week. Crude oil prices marked their largest weekly gain in over three months, driven higher by escalating geopolitical tensions.
