Economic Data and Market Highlights
U.S. and global equities ended the week lower after fresh tariff threats on China sparked a sharp Friday selloff, which saw 424 declines in the S&P 500 and the most new lows since April. The Food, Beverage, and Tobacco sector was the only industry within the S&P 500 to finish higher for the day. For the week ending October 10, 2025, the S&P 500 fell 2.41%, its worst performance since May; volatility jumped as mega-cap tech stocks led declines. Global stocks softened as well, with MSCI ACWI down -2.09%. Core bonds provided ballast: the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate was +0.33% week-over-week.
The Federal government is calling some BLS employees back despite the shutdown to prepare a CPI release on October 24th.
