<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Drove Markets Last Week</h2>



<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43404983/stocks-trim-deepseek-losses-fed-holds-steady-trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-this-week-in-the-markets">Strong earnings reports proved to be a saving grace</a> for the market in a particularly volatile week ended Jan. 31. According to T. Rowe Price traders, about 40% of S&amp;P 500 firms (by market cap) reported earnings, with strong results from Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43395813/apple-shares-are-on-the-rise-after-q1-earnings">helping stocks rebound</a>. 



Yet, that could not save the S&amp;P 500 from ending the week 1% lower. The Nasdaq Composite suffered a sharp decline on Jan. 27, driven by a sell-off in tech stocks following the emergence of Chinese developer DeepSeek. 



DeepSeek's energy-efficient open-source AI model raised competitive concerns, leading to a near 17% plunge in NVIDIA shares that day. The index ended the week with a 1.6% decline. the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a modest gain of 0.3%, according to FactSet, marking its third consecutive positive week.



Trade policy also influenced markets, as former President Donald Trump reaffirmed plans for 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada by February 1, along with a 10% levy on Chinese goods.



Coming to monetary policy, at its first 2025 policy meeting, the Federal Reserve held interest rates at 4.25%–4.50%, citing solid economic expansion and a resilient labor market. 



On Friday, the Commerce Department's core PCE inflation report showed a 2.8% year-over-year rise for December, unchanged for three consecutive months. This remains above the Fed's 2% target.



Meanwhile, the U.S. economy grew 2.3% in Q4 and 2.8% for the full year, slightly below forecasts but above the Fed's 1.8% long-run growth projection. Growth was primarily driven by consumer and government spending.



Treasury yields fell as bond prices rose, partly due to easing concerns over DeepSeek's AI disruption, according to T. Rowe Price traders.
