The stock market faced notable headwinds over the past week, with investors shifting focus from high-multiple growth names to underperforming or value-oriented stocks. While the Nasdaq endured its worst weekly performance since early September—and even dipped into negative territory for the year—the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to hold onto gains. A late surge on Friday, likely driven by end-of-month rebalancing, helped some indices recover, although the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain below key technical levels. Sector performance painted a mixed picture, with Financials and Real Estate benefiting from favorable earnings news and lower interest rates, while Technology lagged amid continued caution around growth valuations. Looking ahead, upcoming economic data (especially the February jobs report) and key corporate earnings are poised to shape market sentiment in the near term.
