Global Markets Wrap-Up

U.S. equity markets ended the week on a softer note, with the S&P 500 declining 0.25% to close at 7,108.40. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite underperformed, slipping 0.12% to 24,438.50 amid continued weakness in growth-oriented names.

In Canada, the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index declined 3.29% on a week-to-date basis to close at 1,020.23, showing signs of short-term softness within its broader uptrend.

However, weakness across industrials, basic materials, financials, technology, and consumer non-cyclicals limited upside momentum.
