LONDON—World stocks paused for breath on Friday but are set for a second consecutive week of gains for the first time in 2022 though sentiment was broadly cautious as markets evaluated the economic risks from the Federal Reserve’s policy tightening and Russia’s war in Ukraine.
U.S. stock futures were marginally higher in the last full week of the quarter while European stocks are set for a minor weekly loss led by financials and energy stocks after two weeks of gains.
