US markets concluded the week with losses all round as the latest batch of corporate earnings reports and new job statistics dampened market sentiment. The Dow Jones declined by 150 points (-0.43%). At its best, the Dow was up by 291 points, while at its worst, it was down 182. The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ experienced drops of 0.53% and 0.36%, respectively. These declines were primarily influenced by a substantial 4.8% decrease in Apple's stock value, stemming from disappointing quarterly results and a pessimistic outlook.

On the European front, markets showed a general upward trend on Friday. The FTSE 100 increased by 0.49%, the DAX rose by 0.39%, the CAC40 saw a gain of 0.84%, and the STOXX 600 index rose 0.33%. However, Europe's STOXX 600 index witnessed one of its most significant weekly drops (-2.44%) since July, primarily attributed to growing concerns about the region's economic growth due to increased speculation of a challenging economic environment.
