US stocks opened Friday on a mixed note as investors reacted to a sharp rise in March inflation and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.
The Nasdaq gained around 0.4%β0.5%, while the Dow Jones fell roughly 0.4%, and the S&P 500 edged slightly higher. Inflation data showed the annual rate jumped to 3.3%, its fastest monthly increase since 2022, driven largely by surging energy prices amid the US-Iran conflict.
Markets remain focused on upcoming weekend talks between the US and Iran, with hopes that a fragile ceasefire could evolve into a more lasting agreement. Meanwhile, oil prices held relatively steady, with US crude hovering near $97 per barrel and Brent slipping just below $96.
This company is moving toward a possible Nasdaq listing - and once that happens, the early window closes.
Before Wall Street prices it in, this company has already generated $6.4M in sales, placed Nature-Cide on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Kroger.com, and begun expanding into 41+ global markets.
Florida's mosquito control districts-America's most well-funded and influential-are independently testing Nature-Cide botanical pesticides, as this company pursues WHO pre-qualification for global public health adoption.
This is the gap before the bell.
Review the opportunity now - before Nasdaq plans unfold.
