What's Going On With Amazon Stock Friday?
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) shares are trading lower by 2.6% to $173.24 at last check on Friday.
亚马逊股票(NASDAQ:AMZN)下跌2.6%,最后报173.24美元。
The dip occurred after a U.S. jobs report revealed that the U.S. economy added 142,000 nonfarm payrolls in August. That's below the expected 160,000, but improved from July's revised 89,000.
此次下跌是因为美国的就业报告显示,美国经济在8月份新增了142,000个非农就业人口,低于预期的160,000个,但相较于7月修正后的89,000个有所改善。
Despite weaker job growth, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%, and wage growth showed stronger-than-expected gains.
尽管就业增长疲软,但失业率降至4.2%,工资增长也显示出强于预期的增长。
Why The Data Matters To Amazon: Friday's report shows that average hourly earnings grew by 0.7% month-over-month, significantly above expectations.
数据对亚马逊的影响: 周五的报告显示,平均小时工资环比增长了0.7%,大大超出了市场预期。
Wage growth can lead to increased labor costs for companies like Amazon, which relies on a vast workforce. If Amazon's labor costs rise, this could squeeze its profit margins, especially given the company's scale.
工资增长可能导致像亚马逊这样依赖于庞大劳动力的公司的劳动成本增加。如果亚马逊的劳动成本上升,这可能会挤压其利润率,特别是考虑到该公司的规模。

Before the report, there was a 43% chance of a 50-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve, indicating market expectations of looser monetary policy to support economic growth. However, the better-than-expected jobs data, may reduce the likelihood of significant interest rate cuts.
在报告发布前,市场预计美联储会进行50个基点的降息,以支持经济增长。然而,就业数据好于预期,可能降低了大幅降息的可能性。
Higher interest rates increase the cost of borrowing, which can negatively impact growth-oriented companies like Amazon, particularly in sectors that are sensitive to consumer spending and business investment.
较高的利率会增加借款成本,这可能对亚马逊等增长型公司产生负面影响,特别是在对消费支出和企业投资敏感的行业。
While the jobs report tempers recession fears, it signals that the economy is in a delicate position. Investors might be wary of how Amazon's performance could be impacted by a slowing labor market and its potential knock-on effects on consumer demand, especially if wage growth doesn't keep pace with inflation in the long run.
虽然就业报告缓解了衰退的担忧,但也表明经济处于一个微妙的位置。投资者可能会担心亚马逊的表现会受到劳动力市场放缓及其对消费需求的潜在影响,特别是如果工资增长长期无法跟上通胀的步伐。
