WSJ What’s News · What’s News in Markets: AI Deals, Trump on Pharma, Banks Split · 18 Oct 2025 podcast

Hey, listeners, it's Saturday, October 18th.

I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets, our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.

Let's get to it.

It was an up and down week for the markets.

On Monday, stocks were regaining ground thanks to comments from the Trump administration that eased investors' fears of a revived trade war with China.

And this optimism in the market was further stoked by strong quarterly reports from banks that kicked off earnings season.

The big picture takeaway there?

America's biggest bankers said that the economy is solid, the U.S.

consumer is healthy, and they haven't seen much change in recent months.

And that sent investors cheering on Wednesday.

Then Thursday came along and the mood soured a bit on worries about the health of regional banks.

So how did all shake out?

Well, on a weekly basis, the Dow ended 1.6% higher, the S&P gained 1.7%, and the Nasdaq rose 2.1%.
