US indices pull back amid geopolitical turmoil
US equity benchmarks closed the trading week to the downside. On Friday, March 4, investors continued to bail out of risk-sensitive assets, amid an unstable geopolitical news flow, and due to the Fed’s imminent rate liftoff, which will mark a complete reversal in the regulator’s monetary policy settings. Meanwhile, even a stellar NPF report was unable to propel the market into positive territory.
