Nasdaq Record, Jobs Report Face Off in Mixed Week.

Markets sent mixed signals last week as investors weighed stronger economic growth, slowing job creation, persistent inflation, and rising Treasury yields.

The Nasdaq managed to reach a fresh intraday record, while the S&P 500 and Dow finished the week lower. Meanwhile, revised GDP data showed stronger-than-expected economic growth, but September's jobs report pointed to a notable slowdown in hiring.

What could these contrasting signals mean for the Federal Reserve and the markets in the weeks ahead?

Last week, stocks faced a challenging shortened trading week with rising oil prices and renewed inflation concerns weighed on investor sentiment.
