description: "Global equities ended the week mixed, influenced by energy risks and earnings reports. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose 0.6% and 1.7%, respectively, while the Dow fell 0.5%. European markets declined 1.6% due to stalled US-Iran talks and rising energy prices, pushing Eurozone economic activity into contraction. In Asia, Chinese markets gained 0.7%, and Japan's Nikkei rose 1.5%, supported by stronger manufacturing activity. Overall, market sentiment was cautious amid escalating Middle East tensions and mixed economic data."
