Market closed roughly flat amid mixed economic and geopolitical signals.
The market ended the day with major indexes mostly down, led by Energy and Utilities, while Health Care and Financials lagged. The tension between AI infrastructure investment and semiconductor stocks' sharp drop this week remains. Tomorrow's session will be influenced by the upcoming inflation data release.
Why it mattered: Today's close sets up a cautious tone ahead of the inflation data release.
