Stock markets worldwide experienced fluctuations amid ongoing concerns about artificial intelligence disruptions and mixed economic indicators. In the US, major indices such as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq showed volatility, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 posting slight declines of about 0.1-0.2%, while the Dow remained relatively flat. Investors remain cautious due to fears that AI advancements could disrupt industries, leading to recent sell-offs in tech stocks. Earnings season is nearing its end, with key reports from Walmart, Constellation Energy, and others influencing market sentiment. Meanwhile, corporate profits are rising while labor income declines, fueling a K-shaped economic pattern where higher-income households benefit disproportionately. Oil prices fell slightly following Iran's announcement of reaching a general agreement with the US on a potential nuclear deal, easing fears of conflict that could impact supply. In Europe, the FTSE 100 hit all-time highs despite Wall Street’s AI jitters, and UK unemployment rose to a five-year high, with wage growth cooling, prompting expectations of potential interest rate cuts by the Bank of England. Additionally, global corporate activities included Hapag-Lloyd’s $4.2 billion acquisition of ZIM and Danaher’s potential $10 billion deal for Masimo. Market analysts highlight the ongoing volatility driven by AI concerns, economic data, and geopolitical developments, with traders closely watching upcoming earnings reports and economic indicators.
