Thursday, Halloween Market Falls in Scary Reaction to Earnings | Wall Street Today
The market fell Thursday after both Meta and Microsoft reported they spent a lot on AI data centers in the past quarter, a bad sign to come for the remaining Mag Seven stocks. Investors are digesting Amazon's earnings and Apple's revenue and earnings beat. It was the largest one-day decline for Microsoft in 2024.
Just past the 4 pm ET close the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ fell 1.86%, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ fell 0.90%, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ fell 2.76%.
MACRO
In macro, the Core PCE index came in a little higher than estimated- 2.7% vs estimates of 2.6%. The regular PCE price index came in at 2.1%, the lowest year-over-year price change since 2021, and nearly on top of the Fed's 2% target. All eyes are on labor numbers tomorrow to see if the other half of the Fed's dual mandate is reacting well to interest rate cuts.
