The US stock market experienced significant fluctuations this week, culminating in a remarkable surge on Friday as the Dow Jones surged over 650 points. This rally came as optimism grew around the avoidance of a government shutdown, providing a much-needed boost after a turbulent week marked by concerns over tariffs and inflation. Although the markets ended on a high note, both the Dow and S&P 500 reported their worst weekly performances since the beginning of the year. The rebound was driven largely by gains in major tech stocks and dip-buying amid market corrections, offering investors a glimmer of hope despite ongoing economic uncertainties.
