Once again, stock prices finished the week in a negative position.
The mood was initially lifted at the beginning of the week by inflation data that was better than expected.
However, by Wednesday, when the Fed signalled that rates are set to go higher until it is clear that inflation has been tamed.
The mood deteriorated once more, shifting back to the bearish trends that have been on offer for the majority of the year.
Therefore, we live in uncertain times.
The markets are dominated by volatility, and investors are searching for any signal.
