Stocks stumble, bond selloff abates as investors take stock of US trade policy

Investors were met with some calm on Friday after a turbulent week besieged by U.S. trade policy confusion and a global rise in borrowing costs, as a steep selloff in bonds abated and currencies steadied, though stocks tracked Wall Street lower.

Overnight the Nasdaq confirmed it has been in a correction since peaking last December, as U.S. stocks face headwinds from a darkening growth outlook in the world’s largest economy and uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.
