Nasdaq And S&P 500 Retreated To Close Lower, Linmon Pictures Hit A New High


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The U.S. stock market Nasdaq and S&P 500 retreated to close lower on Thursday, 11th August 2022, as the market realized that despite new evidence of cooling inflation, the Federal Reserve still needs to aggressively raise interest rates to fully tame rising consumer prices.

The S&P 500 closed slightly lower after earlier hitting a three-month high following the release of data showing that the U.S. producer price index (PPI) unexpectedly fell in July from a year earlier.

The PPI decline raised futures market bets that the Fed will raise rates by 50 basis points in September instead of the 75 basis points expected earlier in the week.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumped more than 2% on Wednesday as consumer prices rose less than expected.

But policymakers have been outspoken in saying they will still tighten monetary policy until inflationary pressures recede across the board.

The labor market showed signs of weakness as initial jobless claims rose for a second straight week and the Nasdaq turned lower as investors questioned the strength of the economy.

The U.S. stock exchanges traded a cumulative 12.36 billion shares, compared with a daily average of 11.06 billion shares over the past 20 trading days.

Six of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500 fell, with health care stocks higher and energy stocks up 3.2%, leading the sectors and helping value stocks rise 0.4% and growth stocks fell 0.5%.

Bank stock gains continued, with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase up 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively.

High-growth stocks that surged on Wednesday fell, with Tesla down 2.6% and Amazon retreating 1.5%.

Despite a recent rebound from lows hit in mid-June, the tech-dominated Nasdaq has fallen about 18% so far this year as concerns about aggressive monetary policy have weakened the appetite for stocks, especially high-growth stocks.
