Markets saw losses this week but a positive end may signal a rebound. Inflation data was encouraging, but Trump’s trade war fuels recession fears. US equity funds saw more investments as some felt optimistic due to lower inflation numbers. Large-cap funds gained $8.78 billion, marking their fifth straight week of inflows. Sector-specific funds saw outflows, with $3.25 billion in net sales. Gold was the biggest winner, reaching $3000/oz. Asia Pacific central bank decisions from Japan, China, and Taiwan are anticipated. US and UK interest rate decisions will be in focus this week. The S&P 500 faces resistance at 5635 with support at 5500.
