  • In early trading on Friday, U.S. stock markets fell after official data showed slower growth and rising inflation, with eight of 11 S&P sectors declining.
  • Amid growing AI fears, technology companies have been pressured in recent months by high valuations and last week, software and real estate sectors were hammered by worries about AI models.
  • Market breadth weakened on both the NYSE and Nasdaq as most megacap and growth stocks, including Tesla and Nvidia, traded lower, while the S&P 500 posted new highs alongside new lows.
  • Traders repriced expectations after data showed underlying U.S. inflation rose more than expected, and global business activity survey and University of Michigan consumer sentiment data are due later today.
  • Legal and private-capital developments could amplify investor caution as the U.S. Supreme Court may force refunds over $US175 billion on President Donald Trump's tariffs, while Akamai Technologies and Blue Owl Capital shares fell sharply.
