US Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

US stocks closed lower yesterday after data showed that the number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell to the lowest level in nearly 18 months last week. This has eased concerns about a slowing economic recovery, but also raised arguments that the Federal Reserve may act earlier than expected to scale back its easing policy. 

The Department of Labor said initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 35,000 to a seasonally adjusted 310,000 for the week ended 4 September 2021, the lowest level since mid-March 2020. This has suggested that job growth could be hindered by labor shortages rather than cooling demand for workers. 

“The problem with the market these days is it’s rotating more than it’s moving. Today, because of the jobs claims report, everyone is buying cyclical stocks,” said Jay Hatfield, chief executive of Infrastructure Capital Management in New York. “We see it as a range-bound market, between 4,400 and 4,600 [on the S&P 500].” 

Investors have become more worried in recent sessions after a recent monthly jobs report showed a slowdown in U.S. hiring, suggesting the economic recovery may be losing steam faster than expected. Also dragging on sentiment has been uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve will scale back massive measures enacted in 2020 to shield the economy from the coronavirus pandemic.
