## Resource

US equities declined this week, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 ending three straight weeks of gains. Major US equity indexes were modestly lower on the week, pressured by elevated long-end yields, higher oil, and some sporadic weakness in crowded AI and momentum trades. The Fed and macro calendar was relatively quiet this week
