Stocks edged down from their opening highs on Friday after a series of economic reports painted a less-than-optimistic picture of the economy. The latest data has added to investor concerns, tempering early gains and bringing a cautious tone to the trading day.

As of, 11:11 AM ET, the Dow was down -80.98 points, or -0.18171%, at $44484.09. The Nasdaq Composite lost -35.508 points, or -0.16213%, at $21865.422. The S&P 500 declined -2.46 points, or -0.04020455%, at $6116.25. Among the 11 major S&P 500 sectors, 6 showed positive movement, with Real Estate leading the way with a 0.51% increase.

This followed Trump’s remarks on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he called for an immediate reduction in interest rates and urged Saudi Arabia and OPEC nations to lower oil prices.

Looking ahead, investors are shifting their focus to next week’s major events, including key technology earnings reports and the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting.

Missed investing in Uber? Don't Miss Mode.

What if you invested in Uber before they went public? A question that haunts the likes of Marc Cuban, who turned them down at a valuation of $10 million and missed a 919,900% return when they went public at over $80 billion!

By the time we hear about industry-changing disruptions like this, it's usually too late, but right now there's a tech-startup making waves behind the scenes. Like Uber turned vehicles into income-generating assets, they're turning smartphones into the easiest passive income source imaginable.

They were named the #1 fastest growing software company by Deloitte in 2023 and have already put +$325M in the pockets of their customers.

This tech startup is Mode Mobile, and unlike Uber you have a chance to invest in their company at just $0.26/share before they go public.

Here's how you can invest and even earn 100% bonus shares for a limited time.
