Wall St Week Ahead Investors eager for delayed data to shed light on US economy

Investors are eagerly anticipating a series of delayed U.S. economic data releases in the coming week, following a 43-day federal government shutdown that disrupted normal reporting schedules. Key upcoming reports include the November jobs report and the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI), both critical to assessing the health of the U.S. economy. The S&P 500 index recently reached an all-time high, buoyed by strong corporate earnings and a dovish Federal Reserve, which cut interest rates for the third consecutive meeting. However, the Fed signaled that further rate cuts may be on hold pending additional economic clarity.

How major US stock indexes fared Friday, 12/12/2025

On December 12, 2025, U.S. stock markets fell from recent record highs, driven by declines in major technology stocks tied to the artificial intelligence boom. The S&P 500 dropped 1.1%, its worst performance in three weeks, closing at 6,827.41. The Nasdaq composite led the losses with a 1.7% fall to 23,195.17, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.5% to 48,458.05. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies declined 1.5% to 2,551.46. Broadcom, despite reporting strong earnings, was among the tech stocks pulling the market downward, and rising Treasury yields added further pressure.

The decline was driven by sharp selloffs in major artificial intelligence (AI) tech stocks, including Broadcom, Oracle, and Nvidia. Rising Treasury yields added pressure by reducing investors' appetite for high-priced stocks.
