Market News:
The S&P 500 closed at record highs
Thursday, though gains were kept in check by an Oracle-fueled
drag on AI-related stocks at a time when valuation concerns persist.
At 4:00 p.m. ET (21:00 GMT), the Dow
Jones Industrial Average rose 646 points, or 1.3% to
closing all-time high of 48,704.01, while the S&P 500 index gained 0.2%, to
also clinch a closing record high of 6,901.00 and the NASDAQ Composite slipped
0.3%.
Oracle slumps on increased spending
In the corporate sector, Oracle
(NYSE:ORCL) stocks slumped after the cloud computing firm sharply hiked its
capital expenditure outlook for fiscal 2026, sparking increased doubts over
just how the company planned to convert its massive AI expenditures into
revenue.
This also spurred doubts over the
company’s increasing debt pile, after it issued billions in bonds and notes
this year to fund its AI buildout.
The slump in Oracle cooled investor
sentiment somewhat on AI stocks, with NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA),
and Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) leading to the downside.
Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) issued a better-than-expected annual revenue and
profit guidance, in a sign that the Photoshop-maker may be benefiting from a
push to monetize its AI-enhanced offerings.
Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) stock rose after announcing a major partnership
with OpenAI that includes a $1 billion investment in
the AI company and licensing of Disney characters for OpenAI’s
Sora video platform.
Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) stock rose after the drugmaker said its
next-generation obesity drug helped patients lose an average of 28.7% of their
weight in a late-stage trial, outperforming its blockbuster drug Zepbound.
Investors digest Fed outlook after rate
cut
The U.S. central bank cut interest rates
by 25 basis points at the conclusion of its policy meeting Wednesday, as
expected, marking its third reduction this cycle.
However, remarks from Chair Jerome
Powell at his post-meeting press conference were more balanced and less hawkish
than many had anticipated, even as he outlined a higher bar for future rate
cuts and data dependence.
He also announced that the central bank
will immediately begin buying short-dated government bonds to boost market
liquidity levels. The Fed will initially buy about $40 billion of Treasury
bills per month.
The Fed policymakers also forecast
another rate cut next year, even with members of the central bank showing
divisions over December’s move.
“Current Fed members suggest just one
further cut is their 2026 central projection, but with changes coming and the
jobs market cooling the risks are skewed towards them cutting by more,”
analysts at ING including James Knightley and Padhraic Garvey said in a note.
The number of Americans filing new
applications for unemployment benefits rose by more than anticipated last week,
after sliding to a three-year low in the prior period.
Data released earlier Thursday showed
that initial claims for state jobless benefits rose to 236,000 for the week
ended December 6, increasing from an upwardly-revised level of 192,000.
Economists had anticipated a reading of 220,000.
For the week ended on November 29, the
original reading for jobless claims stood at a seasonally-adjusted 191,000, the
lowest level since 2022. Some analysts flagged that difficulties around
adjusting the claims for the Thanksgiving holiday may have contributed to the
unanticipated downturn, although others suggested that it was still indicative
of a jobs market that is relatively steady.
Additionally, the U.S. trade deficit
unexpectedly narrowed in September, contracting 10.9% to $52.8 billion, the
lowest level since June 2020, as exports accelerated and imports rose
marginally, suggesting that trade likely provided a
boost to economic growth in the third quarter.
