Stocks Head For Weekly Gains, With The Dow Dipping Slightly And The S&P 500 And Nasdaq Trading Just Above The Flatline Friday
Feb 15, 2025 at 02:43 am
Traders are digesting weaker-than-expected retail sales and the potential for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Major US stock indices ended the week in the green Friday as traders reacted to weaker-than-expected retail sales data and the potential for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
The Dow slipped 0.03%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained 0.04% each.
Here's a look at Friday's performance in major US indices and ETFs:
Now check out our top stock picks for the next week.
Retail sales in the United States fell 0.9% month-over-month in January, far below the anticipated 0.1% decrease. Despite this, markets appeared to be largely shrugging off the weaker-than-expected retail sales figures, which were likely impacted by January's severe cold and California wildfires, as well as the upward revision of December's results.
Geopolitical tensions eased slightly as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that he is willing to participate in Trump’s peace initiative and eventual talks with Russia.
Among commodities, Crude Oil slipped another 0.52% Friday and is now down 9.9% over the past month. The price reacted to President Donald Trump‘s plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on trade partners and news of potential peace talks to end the war in Ukraine.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to below the 4.5% threshold on Friday, extending its pullback after January's retail sales data may have indicated some weakness in the U.S. consumer. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:TLT) rose 0.7%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) rose above the $98,000 level on a midday rally Friday, while XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) climbed more than 7%.

الاتحاد الأوروبي يفرض عقوبات جديدة على روسيا وإيران والصين
انخفضت أسعار النفط الخام بنسبة تصل إلى 3٪ يوم الجمعة وسط مخاوف بشأن الطلب مع فرض الاتحاد الأوروبي عقوبات جديدة على روسيا وإيران والصين.
وبحلول الساعة 12:05 مساءً بتوقيت شرق الولايات المتحدة ، انخفضت العقود الآجلة لخام غرب تكساس الوسيط بنسبة 2.9٪ إلى 97.05 دولارًا للبرميل وانخفضت العقود الآجلة لخام برنت بنسبة 2.8٪ إلى 104.05 دولارًا للبرميل.
فرض الاتحاد الأوروبي عقوبات جديدة على 32 فردًا وكيانًا روسيًا إضافيًا يوم الجمعة ، بما في ذلك بنك تي تي سي ووزير الدفاع سيرجي شويغو. كما فرض الاتحاد عقوبات على 12 فردًا وكيانًا إيرانيًا بسبب قمع الاحتجاجات ، وكيان صيني واحد بسبب انتهاكات حقوق الإنسان في شينجيانغ.
تأتي العقوبات الإضافية في الوقت الذي تستعد فيه الولايات المتحدة وحلفاؤها لفرض جولة جديدة من العقوبات على روسيا عشية الذكرى السنوية الأولى للحرب في أوكرانيا.
في غضون ذلك ، أظهرت بيانات حكومية يوم الجمعة أن واردات الصين من النفط الخام انخفضت بنسبة 1.3٪ في عام 2022 لتصل إلى 508.28 مليون طن ، وهو أدنى مستوى لها منذ 2013. وانخفضت واردات النفط الخام الروسي بنسبة 8٪ لتصل إلى 72.46 مليون طن.
ومن بين العوامل الأخرى التي أثرت على أسعار النفط يوم الجمعة توقعات بنمو اقتصادي أبطأ في الولايات المتحدة ، مما قد يؤثر على الطلب على الوقود. أظهرت بيانات من وزارة التجارة الأمريكية يوم الخميس أن مبيعات التجزئة انخفضت بنسبة 0.9٪ في يناير ، وهو ما يتعارض بشكل حاد مع توقعات المحللين بارتفاعها بنسبة 0.1٪.
ومن المقرر صدور بيانات مؤشر أسعار نفقات الاستهلاك الشخصي الأساسي ، وهو مقياس التضخم المفضل لدى الاحتياطي
