Market Sentiment Turns Bearish After Private Sector Data
私營領域數據出現後市場情緒轉爲看淡
Thursday's session saw a noticeable downturn in sentiment after 11 a.m. as traders absorbed stronger-than-expected growth in private sector activity for August.
在上午11點後，交易員們吸收了8月私營部門活動增長強於預期的數據後，市場情緒明顯下滑。
This unexpected data dented hopes for a larger-than-anticipated 50-basis-point rate cut by the Fed in September. As a result, market-implied probabilities for such a rate cut tumbled to 24%, down sharply from 38% just a day earlier.
這一意外的數據打擊了市場對9月聯儲局50個點子減息的預期。因此，市場對此類減息的概率下降至24%，較前一天急劇下降的38%。
This shift in expectations led to a broader market pullback, with traders opting to take profits following a 13% rally in the Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ), from its early August lows. The day's decline marks the steepest drop for tech stocks since August 5.
預期的變化導致了更廣泛的市場回調，交易員選擇在納斯達克100中的科技股自8月初低點以來的13%漲幅之後獲利了結。這一交易日的下跌是自8月5日以來科技股的最大跌幅。
