Market Falls Thursday, But Not Very Far | Wall Street Today
The market fell Thursday, but not very far from Wednesday closing prices. Just three sectors of the S&P 500 were climbing at the end. CPI numbers came in slightly higher than expected, Oil futures climbed from Lebanon violence, and Chinese stocks went nowhere for the second day. Tune in live tonight to watch $Tesla (TSLA.US)$'s Robotaxi event!
Just past 4 pm ET the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ traded down 21 basis points, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ fell 14 basis points, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ fell 5 bps.
MACRO
Thursday, CPI numbers showed prices grew 2.4% year over year in September, above estimates of 2.3% but still at a three-year low. Core prices rose 3.3%, right at a four-month average. Initial jobless claims came in at 253k, a high not seen since June 2023.
In the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee minutes released Wednesday, several participants in the meeting said a 25 basis point cut would be a more gradual and predictable "path of normalization." Still, the majority of participants voted for a 50 bp cut.
"A substantial majority of participants supported lowering the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 4-3/4 to 5 percent," the minutes read.
Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic spoke upbeat about the economy overall Tuesday night. Still, he said Tuesday that he is monitoring high storms in his district that could harm economic activity.
"Just in my district, in the last two weeks, we've had...these massive weather events, first Hurricane Helene, now we've got Milton that's bearing down on Florida," Bostic said.
