And this is What's News in Markets, our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
voice-verified
Let's get to it.
voice-verified
Traders are still digesting a second Trump administration and what that will mean for the market.
voice-verified
Like we talked about last week, we've been seeing more questions arising around Trump's future policies that are putting some traders on edge.
voice-verified
Like, for instance, Trump's campaign promise to impose tariffs of 60% on all Chinese goods, given that tariffs are widely regarded as inflationary and this could affect the progress we've seen on bringing down inflation.
voice-verified
Meanwhile, some investors are also hoping that certain sectors will benefit from positive business sentiment and looser regulations when Trump returns to the White House.
voice-verified
We also continue to see big moves from the winners and losers of earnings season.
voice-verified
More on those stocks in a second and their impact on the broader indexes, which have been steadily setting new records this year.
voice-verified
And looking at those indexes, this week they all ended in the green.
voice-verified
The Dow rose almost 2 percent and on Friday notched its 44th record close of 2024.
voice-verified
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each added 1.7 percent in the week.
voice-verified
Speaking of earnings winners and losers, let's take a look at Target and rival Walmart, two retail giants that had very different quarters.
voice-verified
Target's report really missed the bullseye, so to speak, with flat sales and shrinking profit.
