U.S. stock indices did not show a single trend at Friday's trading results as there was no progress in agreeing on new measures to support the U.S. economy. According to Seven Points Capital partner Mike Katz, market participants took a "wait-and-see" position. He noted that any news about the incentives leads to movement on the market, "but nothing follows, because we don't have a clear picture on this issue." U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Friday that despite significant progress in agreeing on new incentives, important issues remain, and work is continuing.
