Closed actions were mixed on Friday. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones slightly slipped while investors have reserved profits in some of the best winners of the week. At the same time, the force in some big capitalization names pushed the Nasdaq 100 to a fourth consecutive record.

Meanwhile, for the week, the three indices ended higher in hopes for reducing rates. The DOW won 0.95%, the S&P 500 increased by 1.59%, its fifth positive week in six and the NASDAQ 100 advanced 1.86%for a second consecutive weekly gain.

This week, all eyes will be on the political meeting of the federal reserve on Wednesday. The recent signs of a softer labor market and cooling inflation have increased expectations of lower rates. The markets see a 96% chance of a quarter -point movement, with only a small chance of more important reduction.

The 2025 T2 results season is over, but several notable outings are still scheduled for this week. Focus companies are General Mills (GIS), Fedex (FDX), Lennar (Len) and Darden Restaurants (DRI).
