S&P 500 Closed Lower, H.K. Large Technology Stocks Fell In General


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The S&P 500 closed lower on Friday, 5th August 2022, dragged down by Tesla and other tech-related stocks, after a strong jobs report dampened recent optimism that the Federal Reserve might ease its aggressive pace. 

The data showed that the U.S. jobs rose much more than expected in July, the 19th consecutive month of gains, and the unemployment rate fell to a pre-pandemic low of 3.5%.

The report, along with some other recent data, depicts an optimistic picture of the world’s largest economy after experiencing a contraction in the first half of the year, which dampened investor expectations that the Federal Reserve may slow the pace of interest rate hikes.

The Fed has recently implemented a series of interest rate hikes to cool the economy.

Tesla plunged 6.6%, causing a major drag on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Facebook parent Meta Platforms fell 2% and Amazon dropped 1.2%, also causing a drag on the index.

The U.S. Treasury yields climbed as the likelihood of a 75 basis point rate hike in September increased.

That helped bank stocks, with JPMorgan Chase up 3%, and helped keep the Dow Jones Industrial Average above flat.

The focus now turns to this week’s inflation data, with U.S. consumer prices expected to rise at an annual rate of 8.7% in July after rising 9.1% in June.

Several policymakers this week said they want to stick with their aggressive tightening stance until they see strong, enduring evidence that inflation is falling back toward the Fed’s 2% target.
