S&P, Nasdaq Edge To Record Closes, Hong Kong Stocks Fall


US Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq eked out record finishes on Thursday, 2 September 2021, rising 0.28% and 0.14%, respectively; while the Dow rose by 0.37%, as higher commodity prices helped energy stocks recover lost ground and the latest jobs data left investors unfazed about existing positions.

The energy sector rose by 2.5%, reversing much of the loss suffered during the first three days of the week. Thursday’s performance was fueled by U.S. crude prices jumping 2% on a sharp decline in U.S. inventories and a weaker dollar. 

Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation and Occidental Petroleum Corp. were the largest risers, up by 6.7% and 6%, respectively, with oil majors ExxonMobil and Chevron Corp. both advancing more than 2%. The technology index slipped into negative territory, as some of the industry’s largest companies had their recent upward momentum stalled. 

Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp., Facebook Inc., and Google-owner Alphabet Inc. all fell between 0.2% and 1.8%. A notable exception was Netflix Inc., which advanced 1.1% to close at an all-time high. 

U.S. stocks have regularly hit record highs over the past few weeks as a solid corporate earnings season and hopes of continued central bank support underpinned confidence. 

Still, each new data set is viewed through the prism of whether the numbers might influence the Federal Reserve’s tapering timetable.
