Market News:
The S&P 500 closed lower after
hitting a fresh intraday record Tuesday as investors looked ahead to a widely
expected Federal Reserve rate cut due Wednesday.
At 4:00 p.m. ET (20:00 GMT), the Dow
Jones Industrial Average dropped 125 points, or 0.2%, while the S&P 500
index fell 0.1%, but had hit a record high of 6,626.76 While the {14958|NASDAQ
Composite} } fell 0.1%.
Both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ
Composite notched all-time closing highs on Monday, with the former finishing
above 6,600 for the first time, with Fed rate cut expectations driving much of
this rally.
Retail sales rose strongly in August;
Fed meeting kicks off
U.S. retail sales rose at a
faster-than-anticipated pace in August, spurred on partially by demand at
e-commerce retailers, although the prospect of a weakening labor
market remains heading into the final weeks of the third quarter.
Month-on-month, retail sales
in the world’s largest economy rose by 0.6%, matching July’s upwardly-revised
growth and topping economists’ expectations for an uptick of 0.2%, according to
data from the Commerce Department on Tuesday. Notably, retail sales consist mostly of goods and
are not adjusted for inflation.
"The knee-jerk reaction is hawkish
as the [...] figure points to healthy consumer spending trends," analysts
at Vital Knowledge said in a note. But they said it is "not a huge
surprise that the consumer is still spending" and "the Fed is focused
on jobs."
The Federal Reserve kicks off its
two-day meeting Tuesday, and is widely expected to decide to cut interest rates
by 25 basis points on Wednesday. The rate decision will be accompanied by a
fresh set of projections including on the rate cut outlook ahead, with many
investors betting on three rate cuts this year.
U.S.-China trade negotiations
Supporting risk appetite was a fresh
wave of optimism surrounding the ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations in
Madrid.
President Donald Trump posted on Monday
that the “big Trade Meeting in Europe … has gone VERY WELL!”
He added that “a deal was also reached
on a ‘certain’ company that young people in our Country very much wanted to
save. They will be very happy!” referring to TikTok.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that a framework deal was reached for TikTok’s U.S. ownership, with a call between Trump and
Chinese President Xi Jinping slated for Friday to
finalize details.
Ford to cuts jobs in Germany
In the corporate sector, Ford
(NYSE:F) announced plans to cut up to 1,000 jobs in electric car production
in the German city of Cologne due to weak demand.
Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) said on Tuesday it would make £5 billion ($6.80 billion) in new
investments into Britain ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s state visit to
the country, which is expected to feature a flurry of business deals and
partnerships.
Elsewhere, Dave & Buster’s
Entertainment (NASDAQ:PLAY) stock dropped sharply after the chain of
restaurants and arcades posted disappointing quarterly earnings.
Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) stock fell after the aerospace manufacturer
announced it had entered into a stock purchase agreement worth up to $750
million, while health insurer Oscar Health (NYSE:OSCR) dropped after announcing
a $350 million private offering of senior convertible notes.
Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock rose after CBS News reported that the cloud computing giant is
among a consortium of firms that would enable TikTok
to continue operations in the U.S. if a Sino-U.S. framework deal was reached.
