U.S. business activity picks up in December – survey

By Caroline Valetkevitch

NEW YORK, Dec 15 (Reuters) – The S&P 500 ended a choppy session little changed on Friday but registered a seventh straight week of gains in its longest winning streak since 2017 after this week’s dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve.

The Dow Jones industrial average notched a record high close for the third session in a row.

Comments Friday by Fed Bank of New York President John Williams that it was too soon to be talking about rate cuts dampened some of the day’s optimism.

Also, the rate sensitive real estate and utilities sectors fell more than 1% each, giving back some of this week’s gains.

Stocks rallied after the Fed in its policy statement Wednesday signaled lower borrowing costs in 2024. An index of semiconductors rose 9.1% for the week, its biggest weekly percentage gain since May.

“What I think we got this week is that (Fed Chair Jerome Powell) doesn’t want to overly punish the economy with (rates) being higher for longer for no good reason,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh.

“I don’t know if we’re going to get whatever is considered a Santa Claus rally, but it looks like all things being considered, we could drift higher from here.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 56.81 points, or 0.15%, to 37,305.16, the S&P 500 lost 0.36 points, or 0.01%, to 4,719.19 and the Nasdaq Composite added 52.36 points, or 0.35%, to 14,813.92.

For the week, the Dow gained 2.9%, the Nasdaq climbed 2.8% and the S&P 500 added 2.5%.

The day also marked the expiry of quarterly derivatives contracts tied to stocks, index options and futures, also known as “triple witching.”

The day’s volume was high. Volume on U.S. exchanges was 19.76 billion shares, compared with the 11.80 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

Shares of Costco Wholesale jumped 4.4% after the retailer topped Wall Street estimates for first-quarter results due to demand for cheaper groceries.

Earlier on Friday, a survey showed domestic business activity picked up in December amid rising orders and demand for workers, which could further help to allay fears of a sharp slowdown in economic growth in the fourth quarter.

Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.00-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.54-to-1 ratio favored decliners.

The S&P 500 posted 50 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 180 new highs and 85 new lows.

Oct 29 (Reuters) – Wall Street was little changed on Tuesday as investors assessed a host of corporate results and awaited Google-parent Alphabet’s earnings later in the day.

“Magnificent Seven” member Alphabet’s shares rose 0.35% ahead of its results due after market close, where it is expected to post its slowest revenue growth in four quarters.

This week marks the busiest period for S&P 500 earnings, with eyes on five of the “Magnificent Seven” group of stocks that are reporting quarterly results.

The group’s results will be crucial to determining whether Wall Street can sustain the optimism around technology and artificial intelligence that has lifted indexes to record highs this year.

However, rate-sensitive stocks were under pressure as bond yields continued to rise, with the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yield breaching the 4.3% level for the first time since early July.

“It does look like the curve is normalizing, but I do think (yields) will move down at the end of the election and whenever we get more data showing the Fed’s view of inflation versus jobs is correct,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners.

Nvidia was trading 0.2% lower, while Apple was flat.

There were plenty of earnings for investors to sift through. Vans parent VF Corp jumped 27.9% after the company reported a profit for the first time in two quarters.

Ford slumped nearly 8% after the automaker said on Monday it expects to hit the lower end of its annual profit forecast.

D.R. Horton dropped 12.7% on Tuesday after the homebuilder forecast 2025 revenue below estimates, while McDonald’s dipped 2.4% after reporting a drop in global sales.

Meanwhile, the Labor Department’s JOLTS survey showed job openings were at 7.44 million in September, compared with estimates of 8 million, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

A separate report showed consumer confidence stood at 108.7 in October, higher than the estimated 99.5.

Traders added to bets on further reductions to U.S. short-term borrowing costs after the data, which helped stock indexes pare some initial losses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 19.94 points, or 0.05%, to 42,407.51, the S&P 500 gained 0.86 points, or 0.01%, to 5,824.38, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 22.83 points, or 0.12%, to 18,590.02.

The communication services sector, housing Alphabet and Meta, was the top sectoral gainer, while utilities fell to the bottom.

With earnings, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the upcoming U.S. elections and a Fed meeting, investors are anticipating a volatile few weeks.

The VIX has risen above 20 from below 15 in September.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 2.3-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.46-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P 500 posted 13 new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 44 new highs and memek 33 new lows.

US STOCKS-Wall Street rallies after jobs data; debt default averted

Nasdaq set for best weekly winning streak since Jan 2020

Data shows jobless rate at 3.7% in May; wage growth moderates

Amazon up on report of its talks for low-cost mobile services

June 2 (Reuters) – U.S. stocks rallied on Friday after a labor market report showing moderating wage growth in May, indicating the Federal Reserve may skip a rate hike in two weeks, while markets welcomed a Washington deal that avoided a catastrophic debt default.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq index hit a 13-month intraday high as it headed for a sixth-straight week of gains that would mark its best winning streak since January 2020.

U.S. job growth accelerated in May but a surge in the unemployment rate to a seven-month high of 3.7% suggested labor market conditions were easing, the Labor Department said.

The jump in the unemployment rate from a 53-year low of 3.4% in April reflected a drop in household employment and a rise in the overall workforce. A bigger labor pool is easing pressure on businesses to raise wages and helping decelerate inflation.

“While it appears to be a hot number on the actual number of people employed, the wage rate is not increasing as fast,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. “That is a softening effect and is this the mythical soft landing? Looks like that.”

The data brought relief to investors who mostly expect the Fed to pause hiking rates at its policy meeting on June 13-14. It would be the first halt since the Fed started its aggressive anti-inflation policy tightening more than a year ago.

But some pointed to the much hotter-than-expected jobs data as a sign the Fed still has not yet tamed inflation.

“Our view is and has been that the market is completely wrong on assessing what the Federal Reserve is doing,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Hermes in New York.

“The market’s perception is that this economy was going to cool, inflation was going to collapse and the Fed was going to turn around and start cutting interest rates. That’s wrong.”

Fed funds futures showed a 66.6% probability that the Fed will hold rates steady in two weeks, down from 79.6% on Thursday, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.

Markets now await data on key consumer prices a day before the Fed’s rate decision.

Also lifting an investor headwind was the Senate passing a bill late on Thursday to lift the government’s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, avoiding what would have been a catastrophic, first-ever default.

Wall Street’s fear gauge, the CBOE volatility index fell to its lowest since November 2021, down 1 point at 14.3 points.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 701.39 points, or 2.12%, to 33,762.96, the S&P 500 gained 61.71 points, or 1.46%, to 4,282.73 and the Nasdaq Composite added 130.52 points, or 1%, to 13,231.50.

Amazon.com Inc gained 1.6% after a report that the company is in talks with telecom operators to offer low-cost mobile services in the United States.

All 11 major S&P 500 sectors traded higher, with the materials index jumping 3.3% and tante sange the consumer discretionary sector, housing Amazon, rising 2.4%.

Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 5.03-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.50-to-1 ratio favored advancers.

The S&P 500 posted 15 new 52-week highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 66 new highs and 34 new lows.

US STOCKS-Wall St slips on mixed earnings, higher Treasury yields

Netflix falls after downbeat forecast

Morgan Stanley slips as Q1 profit falls

April 19 (Reuters) – Wall Street’s main indexes fell on Wednesday as Treasury yields rose on growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher for longer, while mixed earnings from regional banks and weakness in Tesla further dented sentiment.

Tesla Inc dropped 2.4% after the electric-vehicle maker reduced prices for scam a sixth time this year in the United States, ahead of its first-quarter results.

Netflix Inc slid 4.7% after the video-streaming pioneer issued a downbeat forecast.

Morgan Stanley declined 1.8% as the Wall Street bank reported a fall in quarterly earnings, a day after rival Goldman Sachs Group Inc posted a 19% drop in profit on hit to dealmaking and losses from the sale of some assets in its consumer business.

While the start of the earnings season has been largely supportive for equities, investors will closely watch updates from market heavyweights as well as consumer companies for signs of inflation and economic slowdown hurting margins.

Mixed economic data recently has fueled bets that the U.S. central bank will hike interest rates by 25 basis points in May, with traders seeing an 83% chance for such a move, as per CME Group’s Fedwatch tool.

The two-year Treasury yield, most reflective of short-term rate expectations, hit a one-month high and the 10-year yield hit a four-week high as traders scaled back expectations of rate cuts later this year.

“I don’t know if they’re (Fed policymakers) going to raise a whole lot more, but all the hawkish tone is saying don’t expect rate cuts this year, another thing driving yields a little bit higher because a lot of them had been anticipating a cut,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh.

“Also, UK inflation came in really hot and there are fears that it could spread here.”

Communication services, materials and technology were among the top S&P 500 sector decliners.

The Fed’s “Beige Book”, a snapshot of the health of the U.S. economy, will be released at 2:00 p.m. ET (1800 GMT), and investors will scrutinize it for the impact of the recent banking crisis on economic activity.

At 9:44 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 140.38 points, or 0.41%, at 33,836.25, the S&P 500 was down 19.18 points, or 0.46%, at 4,135.69, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 77.37 points, or 0.64%, at 12,076.04.

Chipmakers including Micron Technology and Qualcomm Inc were down around 1% each after European giant ASML Holding NV noted some signs of caution among customers.

The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index dropped 1.3%.

Earnings from regional banks were mixed, with Citizens Financial Group Inc falling 3.4% after its first-quarter results missed estimates.

Western Alliance Bancorp rallied 17.3% after the regional bank posted stronger-than-expected earnings and said its deposits had stabilized after the March banking crisis.

Shares of First Republic Bank, Zions Bancorporation and Pacwest Bancorp rose between 3% and 8.1%.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 3.70-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 2.40-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded 10 new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 17 new highs and 57 new lows. (Reporting by Sruthi Shankar and Ankika Biswas in Bengaluru Editing by Vinay Dwivedi)

US STOCKS-Wall Street set to dip from record highs with Trump tax…

Tesla slips as Denmark, Sweden sales drop; Trump-Musk feud

July 1 (Reuters) – Wall Street indexes were set to dip on Tuesday, after touching record highs a day earlier, as investors monitored U.S. trade talks and a voting marathon in Washington over President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill.

The S&P 500 and kontol the Nasdaq Composite notched all-time closing highs on Monday, capping their best quarter in over a year as hopes for more trade deals and possible rate cuts supported sentiment.

U.S. senators were still voting on Tuesday on a potentially long list of amendments to Trump’s bill that is expected to bring a $3.3 trillion hit to the nation’s debt pile.

The Republican majority’s struggle to pass the bill exemplifies deep divisions within the party over debt. The bill aims to partly cover the cost of the tax reductions with cuts to Medicaid and some food assistance programs for low-income Americans.

Trump said he was open to moving the July 4 deadline he gave fellow Republicans in the U.S. Senate to get behind the bill, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he expects the Senate to pass the bill by the afternoon.

“This version that we hear about is not necessarily the one that’s going to pass. So you know that’s still something that weighs on investors’ minds,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners.

Tesla’s shares dropped 6.2% premarket after a fresh spat between CEO Elon Musk and Trump over the tax bill, with the president urging the government efficiency department to review the subsidies that Musk’s companies have received. Tesla also reported a sales drop for a sixth straight month in Sweden and Denmark in June. Meanwhile, Trump expressed frustration with U.S.-Japan trade negotiations and Bessent warned that countries could be notified of sharply higher tariffs despite good-faith negotiations, as a July 9 deadline approaches.

By 8:39 a.m. ET (1239 GMT), S&P 500 e-minis were down 22.5 points, or 0.36%. Nasdaq 100 e-minis dropped 116.5 points, or 0.51% and Dow e-minis slipped 66 points, or 0.15%.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq’s rise to record highs marked a stunning recovery in sentiment that was hammered by Trump’s chaotic trade policies and geopolitical tensions, with investors betting on AI enthusiasm and earnings momentum to keep the bull run going.

The blue-chip Dow on Monday closed 2.2% below its all-time high touched in December.

S&P Global and ISM’s June manufacturing activity surveys, May job openings data as well as Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments at a European Central Bank forum later in the day will be parsed for hints on U.S. monetary policy outlook.

Soft economic data in recent weeks and expectations of Trump picking a dovish central bank head have supported bets of interest rate cuts from the Fed this year and next.

Ahead of Thursday’s crucial payrolls data, money markets were pricing in 68 basis points of rate cuts by the end of 2025 and about 131 bps of cuts by October next year, per LSEG data.

Among other stocks, stablecoin firm Circle edged up 1.3% on news it was applying to create a national trust bank in the U.S.

AMC Entertainment Holdings dropped 6.5% after the theater chain operator said it would cut its debt by converting at least $143 million in exchangeable bonds into shares. (Reporting by Sruthi Shankar in Bengaluru; Editing by Devika Syamnath)
