While the hostilities in the Middle East will dominate the headlines this week, more conventional news drove the market before the weekend. The S&P 500 slipped 0.4% last week, pressured by weakness in technology and financials, and closed at 6,878.88. With Friday marking month-end, the index finished February down 0.9%, though it remains up 0.5% for 2026.
