What Drove Markets Last Week
Beginning with the mega-cap tech earnings last week, companies including Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), fell short of lofty expectations, weighing on markets despite support from Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and financial sector stocks. 
On the economic front, January's job report was a mixed bag. Nonfarm payrolls rose just 143,000—far below December's 307,000 and short of economists' 170,000 estimate. Yet, the unemployment rate dipped, and wages climbed faster than expected.
A warning sign popped up Friday when the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index unexpectedly dropped. The survey showed consumer sentiment falling to 67.8, with inflation expectations rising to 4.3%—the highest since late 2023. The report linked this unease to higher tariffs under the Trump administration.
Gold surged to record highs, topping $2,850 per ounce, as investors sought safety amid inflation worries and policy uncertainty. This marks its sixth straight week of gains, reinforcing its safe-haven status.
Meanwhile, Ford's stock slid to its lowest level since early 2021 despite an earnings beat. Its weak 2025 outlook and projected $5 billion to $5.5 billion EV losses raised fresh concerns about profitability and competition in the electric vehicle market.
