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.
週五最後一次查看時,亞馬遜公司(納斯達克股票代碼:AMZN)股價下跌2.6%,至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.
下跌是在美國就業報告顯示美國經濟在8月份增加了14.2萬個非農就業人數之後發生的。這低於預期的16萬個,但與7月份修訂後的8.9萬相比有所改善。
Despite weaker job growth, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%, and wage growth showed stronger-than-expected gains.
儘管就業增長疲軟,但失業率降至4.2%,工資增長強於預期。
Why The Data Matters To Amazon: Friday's report shows that average hourly earnings grew by 0.7% month-over-month, significantly above expectations.
爲什麼數據對亞馬遜很重要:週五的報告顯示,平均小時收入同比增長0.7%,大大高於預期。
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.
工資增長可能導致亞馬遜等依賴龐大員工隊伍的公司的勞動力成本增加。如果亞馬遜的勞動力成本上升,這可能會擠壓其利潤率,特別是考慮到該公司的規模。

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.
在報告發布之前,聯儲局減息50個點子的可能性爲43%,這表明市場預期將採取更寬鬆的貨幣政策來支持經濟增長。但是,好於預期的就業數據可能會降低大幅減息的可能性。
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.
更高的利率會增加借貸成本,這可能會對亞馬遜等以增長爲導向的公司產生負面影響,尤其是在對消費者支出和商業投資敏感的行業。
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.
儘管就業報告緩解了對經濟衰退的擔憂,但它表明經濟處於微妙的境地。投資者可能會對勞動力市場放緩及其對消費者需求的潛在連鎖反應如何影響亞馬遜的表現持謹慎態度,尤其是在工資增長長期跟不上通貨膨脹步伐的情況下。
