- S&P 500 ended lower and slipped from its record high as investors weighed weak U.S. economic data and Middle East tensions, per Reuters and AP.
- Despite the daily decline, the index capped its third straight week of gains according to Yahoo Finance — an angle the dominant 'slip from record' framing downplays.
Why it matters: The S&P 500 gave back some gains from record highs as investors sold on Middle East tensions and weak U.S. economic data — yet still booked a third consecutive winning week, a tension between daily action and weekly trend that the dominant 'lower close' headlines obscure.
