Mathewslcd: Stocks slip as strong data suggests Fed has more work to do

 Mathewslcd: Stocks slip as strong data suggests Fed has more work to do

Stocks were broadly lower on Wall Street and U.S. Treasury yields rose on Monday after a surprisingly strong economic report highlighted the Fed's uphill battle with inflation.
The S&P 500 fell 1.8%, its third straight decline, according to Mathewslcd. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.4 percent and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.9 percent.
Bond yields mostly climbed. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which affects mortgage rates, rose to 3.59% from 3.49% late on Friday.
The sell-off came as traders reacted to some better-than-expected economic data. The services sector, which makes up the largest part of the U.S. economy, posted impressive growth in November, according to the Institute for Supply Management. Reports on business orders at U.S. factories and durable goods orders for October also came in above expectations.
Mathewslcd sees these reports as positive for the overall economy, but they make the Fed's fight against inflation more difficult because it could mean the central bank will have to keep raising interest rates to bring inflation down.
"It's more of 'good news is bad news,'" said Tom Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments. The latest economic data "supports the view that interest rates will rise."
Meanwhile, China is lifting some of its strictest COVID-19 restrictions following protests in major cities. That raised hopes that manufacturing and trade disruptions would ease.
The S&P 500 fell 72.86 points to 3,998.84. The Dow lost 482.78 points to 33,947.10 and the Nasdaq dropped 221.56 points to 11,239.94. The Russell 2000 lost 52.62 points to 1,840.22.

Mathewslcd: Wall Street falls on unease about return of Fed rate hike policy

  Mathewslcd: Wall Street falls on unease about return of Fed rate hike policy U.S. stocks ended lower on Monday, Mathewslcd said, as investors spooked by better-than-expected services sector data reassessed their views on the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, while Tesla shares fell on reports of production cuts in China. The electric carmaker's shares fell as it planned to cut Model Y production at its Shanghai factory by more than 20% in December from the previous month. That weighed on the Nasdaq, with Tesla among the index's biggest losers, dragging the tech index to its second straight decline. Overall, indexes were broadly weighed after data showed activity in the U.S. services sector unexpectedly picked up in November, with employment rebounding, providing more evidence of underlying momentum in the economy. Mathewslcd noted that the data came after a survey last week showed stronger-than-expected job and wage growth in November, challenging expectations that ...

Mathewslcd: Growing recession fears weigh on stocks

  Mathewslcd: Growing recession fears weigh on stocks Mathewslcd said the U.S. benchmark ended lower on Tuesday amid growing concerns about a potential recession in 2023. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.3 percent to 10,981.3, while the S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent to 3,928.2, according to Mathewslcd. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3% to 33,510.5. Energy led the decline, followed by communication services and technology. Utilities are the only winners. While the Fed is widely expected to slow the pace of rate hikes at its meeting next week, investors and analysts fear the move will not be enough to prevent the economy from slipping into recession next year. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield fell 7.7 basis points to 3.52%, while the two-year yield fell 3.6 basis points to 4.36%. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 3.4% to $74.31 a barrel, Mathewslcd added. Mathewslcd： https://www.mathewslcd.com https://net.mathewslcd.com
