stock markets

Wall Street held firmer Monday after its three-week slide as Big Tech stocks rebounded. It was a return to form for Nvidia, Tesla and other market behemoths, which have struggled recently under the weight of rising yields in the bond market.

Wall Street’s dismal August dragged on Friday with its third straight losing week. Stocks held a bit steadier Friday after yields eased a bit. After topping 4.30% a day before and nearing its highest level since 2007, the 10-year Treasury yield fell back to 4.24%.

Wall Street weakened again Thursday as higher bond yields keep biting. The losses were widespread.

Apple fell 1.5% and was the heaviest weight on the S&P 500.

Wall Street ended mixed Friday, closing out another losing week. Stocks lost ground in the early going after the Labor Department reported Friday that its producer price index, which measures inflation before it hits consumers, rose 0.8% last month from July 2022.

Wall Street swung after the release of inflation data, but ended little changed. The morning’s highly anticipated report showed U.S. consumers paid prices that were 3.2% higher in July than a year earlier. That’s a touch milder than the 3.3% inflation rate economists expected to see and down sharply from last summer’s peak above 9%.

Wall Street’s winning week stayed perfect on Thursday as inflation eased further.

Wall Street ticked higher Monday ahead of updates on inflation, profits. The big question hanging over Wall Street is whether the U.S. economy can avoid a long-predicted recession despite high interest rates meant to pull down inflation. The hope is that inflation is easing enough for the Federal Reserve to soon halt its hikes to rates, which have already caused cracks in the banking industry and other corners of the economy.

Wall Street drifted Friday after a jobs report comes in warm but hopefully not too hot. A lot is riding on whether the economy can navigate the narrow pathway to avoid a long-predicted recession. It needs to keep growing despite much higher interest rates instituted by the Federal Reserve to bring down inflation. But it can’t grow so quickly that the Fed feels pressure to brake much harder on the economy to prevent inflation from spiraling higher.

Wall Street fell Thursday after hot jobs data raised the threat of high rates. While a sturdy labor market keeps the economy out of a long-feared recession, it could also push the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for longer in its campaign to defeat high inflation. That in turn could mean more pressure down the line on the economy and financial markets.

Bulls ran again on Wall Street Thursday as the S&P 500 climbed 20% above its October low. The index rose 0.6% to carry it 20% above a bottom hit in October. That means Wall Street’s main measure of health has climbed out of a painful bear market, which saw it drop 25.4% over roughly nine months.
