- Dow Jones Industrial Average: 39,315.30 (−0.89%)
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted gains, rebounding after a sharp decline earlier in the week. Investors were encouraged by positive signals from President Trump regarding trade talks with Japan.

Brazil and Canada also saw solid gains, supported by improved investor sentiment and favorable local data.
💵 U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)
- US Dollar Index: 99.48 (+0.10%)
The dollar edged higher, driven by hotter-than-expected inflation data, which reduced expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

Despite the drop, the VIX remains elevated, reflecting persistent market uncertainty, especially around inflation trends and Fed policy.
