Asia Mixed, Europe Markets Gain, Dollar Index Slips Amid Credit Rating Downgrade - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Friday, May 16th, U.S. markets closed higher, fueled by a U.S.-China tariff truce, despite worsening consumer sentiment and surging inflation expectations.

In economic data, U.S. consumer sentiment slipped to 50.8 in May, down from 52.2 in April and below the expected 53.4. U.S. import and export prices rose 0.1% in April, defying expectations of declines and rebounding from previous drops.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors rose, led by health care, utilities, and real estate, while energy stocks closed lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.78% to 42,654.74, the S&amp;P 500 rose 0.70% to 5,958.38, while the Nasdaq was up 0.52% at 19,112.32.
