The US stock market, which performed well in the first half of the year, showed signs of weakness on the last trading day of the week, despite the usual positive news of easing inflation. However, historically, strong performance in the first half often leads to decent performance in the second half of the year. This year, the presence of variables like the possibility of Trump returning to the White House adds uncertainty. While the S&P 500 index rose 14.5% this year, the NASDAQ Composite index surged over 18% in the first half, with the Dow up 3.8%. Factors such as 2020 election expectations and inflation risks are influencing market sentiments.
