US stocks experienced a decline on Friday in response to the potential threat of additional tariffs from the Trump administration. This drop in the market was also influenced by a surge in consumer expectations for inflation and overshadowed by a monthly jobs report. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both saw losses for the second consecutive week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average registering its worst daily performance in roughly four weeks.

During a meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump announced plans for reciprocal tariffs on American imports, including the possibility of tariffs on Japan. This news contributed to the downward trend in the market. Additionally, consumer sentiment in the US sank to a seven-month low in early February, leading to increased inflation expectations due to concerns over the tariff threats made by Trump.

The University of Michigan survey found that Americans now expect an inflation rate of 4.3% over the next year, a significant increase from the previous month. This spike in inflation expectations also led to a rise in the 10-year Treasury yield, reaching a session high of 4.5%.

In the tech sector, Amazon stock fell by 4% following a disappointing revenue outlook, similar to other AI-focused Big Tech companies like Google. The market also reacted to the monthly jobs report, which showed that the US economy added 143,000 jobs in January, below economist expectations. However, the labor market still demonstrated resilience, with the unemployment rate ticking down to 4.0% from 4.1% in December.

The overall sentiment in the market was cautious as investors grappled with the uncertainty surrounding tariffs and inflation. The ongoing trade tensions between the US and China also contributed to the market jitters. Despite these challenges, the market remains resilient, with signs of stability in the labor market and ongoing economic growth.
