U.S. equity markets exhibited cautious trading patterns following the release of mixed economic indicators, with major indices showing modest declines amid concerns over moderating growth and persistent inflation. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each retreated approximately 0.4 to 0.7 percent in morning sessions, as investors digested the downward revision in first-quarter GDP and elevated core PCE readings, which tempered expectations for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts. Technology and consumer discretionary sectors faced particular pressure, while industrials benefited modestly from the strong durable goods orders data, highlighting selective resilience within the broader market landscape.
