In this episode of Market Brief – After Hours, markets close mixed despite softer-than-expected US inflation data. The Dow Jones rises slightly while the S&P 500 posts its second consecutive weekly decline and the Nasdaq drops on renewed software and fintech weakness. We break down the January CPI report showing inflation cooling to 2.4%, falling Treasury yields, and why equity investors are focusing more on artificial intelligence disruption risks than rate-cut optimism. The episode also covers mixed European performance, improving Eurozone growth data, Forex technical analysis in EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and AUD/USD, plus strength in gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Key stock movers include Coinbase, MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms, Rivian, Tri Pointe Homes, DraftKings, Roku, and Bio-Rad Laboratories.
