Below are Today's Key Takeaways.
Top News Move the Market
Global Markets Weekly Update
Major stock indexes finished the holiday-shortened week mixed (markets were closed Friday in observance of the Good Friday holiday). Smaller-cap indexes outperformed, with the S&P MidCap 400 and Russell 2000 Indexes posting gains, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite all closed the week lower. The information technology sector was a notable decliner during the week, due in part to news that the U.S. government would add new restrictions on exports of chips to China in a further escalation of the ongoing trade war between the worldβs two largest economies. The news sent shares of NVIDIA, Advanced Micro Devices, and other companies with artificial intelligence exposure lower on Wednesday, weighing on the broader sector.
The weekβs economic data releases included several reports related to the housing market, starting with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index. On Wednesday, the NAHB reported that the indexβwhich gauges the overall sentiment of homebuildersβwas 40 in April, inching up one point from March but remaining under the threshold of 50, indicating that a majority of homebuilders have a negative outlook on the market. According to NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz, βpolicy uncertainty is having a negative impact on homebuilders, making it difficult for them to accurately price homes and make critical business decisions.β
Elsewhere, the Census Bureau reported that retail sales rose by 1.4% in March, the highest monthly increase in over two years. The advance was broad-based, with 11 of the reportβs 13 categories increasing from February. Sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers surged 5.3%, an indication that consumers were rushing to buy cars ahead of the Trump administrationβs 25% tariff on automobiles. Building materials, sporting goods, and electronics also had notable increases in sales during the month.
U.S. Treasuries generated positive returns for the week, rebounding some from the prior weekβs sell-off that was sparked by heightened uncertainty around global trade. Intermediate-term Treasury yields saw the most notable decreases, followed by long- and short-term yields. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) T. Rowe Price traders noted that the hawkish comments from Fed Chair Powell on Wednesday triggered some risk-off market sentiment that helped drive gains in the Treasury market. Municipal bonds also posted positive returns, and our traders noted that the market was showing signs of stability following the prior weekβs sell-off.
