Energy prices wavered and political developments left investors less confident in the policies likely to be instituted by incoming U.S. president Donald Trump. These developments took some of the steam out of the rally that has persisted since Trump’s election in early November.Broad North American equity indexes started the week on a down note, mostly because of a sharp drop in oil prices. Oil then recovered, contributing to two days of advances. But stocks fell again as investors were disappointed that Trump failed to provide concrete details during a news conference on Wednesday about his plans to reduce taxes, ramp up fiscal spending and streamline regulations.Some sectors that have recently been big winners were volatile in the wake of the press conference, including financials. Shares of global pharmaceutical companies were hit hard after Trump criticized the drug industry.Canada’s S&P/TSX ended the week little changed, although the energy sector fell on seesawing oil prices. The materials sector was among the better-performing groups, helped by rising gold and base metals prices. The financials sector posted a modest gain.Wall Street’s S&P 500 was little changed, despite intra-day swings. Bank stocks initially fell after Trump’s press conference but advanced again as investors reacted well to quarterly earnings reports released Friday. Positive U.S. retail sales and consumer confidence data helped stocks at the end of the week. Pharmaceutical shares were buffeted by Trump’s comments. The NASDAQ Composite set a series of record highs as technology stocks advanced.Most European markets ended the week close to where they started amid pressure on pharmaceutical and bank stocks. However, Britain’s FTSE 100 closed at its 12th consecutive end-of-day high, the index’s longest record-setting streak. In Asia, Trump’s failure to clarify economic policies and a falling U.S. dollar kept a lid on Japanese share prices.Government bonds recouped some of their recent losses as the week’s developments were seen as positive for the fixed-income sector, particularly in the U.S.In other news this week:The pace of global economic growth should quicken to 2.7% this year, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).China, the world’s second-largest economy, struggled last year as exports fell 7.7% and imports declined 5.5%.Germany’s economy grew at its fastest pace in five years in 2016, contributing to a recovery in the eurozone.
