US stocks struggled to keep the momentum going on Friday as investors digested the latest batch of earnings and parsed through Trump's remarks appearing to soften his tariff threats against China.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell roughly 0.2%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) slipped below the flat line after the index hit its first record high of 2025 on Thursday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) ticked down 0.1%.
The major gauges are set to end the holiday-shortened week with gains above 2%. Markets are also gearing up for a news-packed week in the days ahead as several of the tech giants will post quarterly results alongside the first Fed policy meeting of the new Trump era.
