US Markets: After a mixed performance yesterday, all three major indexes ended up down for the week, with both the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 suffering their worst week of the year. News Corp’s stock fell after the company said it plans to cut 1,250 jobs, or about 5% of its workforce, this year.
Economic news remained light, as the lone report showed a better-than-expected increase in consumer sentiment for February.
Treasury yields were mixed, and the U.S. dollar traded to the upside, while crude oil prices rose and gold declined.
Asian and European stocks finished lower as the international markets digested regional data and continued to grapple with the implications of monetary policy tightening.
