US Market Braces for Data-Heavy Friday Amid Tariff Uncertainty
Investors are bracing for Friday's economic data releases, including the first Q4 U.S. GDP report and key inflation figures.
The report will cover a period that included the longest federal government shutdown on record, which is expected to have weighed on growth.
JPMorgan estimates a 64% probability of tariffs being struck down, with a corresponding 0.1-0.2% S&P 500 move in the bank's favor.
Asian markets were broadly lower Thursday, with declines in Japan and Australia, while U.S. stock futures rose late on the day ahead of the data-heavy Friday.
