US markets end lower on Thursday

04 Nov 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended lower on Thursday, magnifying their previous session’s losses, as slowing growth and rising interest rates dampened investors sentiment. The fourth straight 75-basis point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, and comments from the central bank Chair Jerome Powell that signaled more interest rate hikes in the coming months rendered the mood bearish. Meanwhile, investors also digested the latest batch of economic data and looked ahead to the crucial non-farm payroll data, due on Friday. Stock specific development, Apple Inc was down more than 3 percent. Visa, American Express, Home Depot, Walt Disney and Cisco Systems are down 2 to 2.5 percent. Amazon Inc ended lower by 3 percent, Alphabet dropped about 4 percent, and Meta Platforms drifted down 1.8 percent.

On the economic data front, data from the Commerce Department showed the US trade gap widened to a three-month high of $73.3 billion in September, up from a downwardly revised $65.7 billion in August. Exports were down 1.1 percent at $258 million, while imports increased by 1.5 percent to $331.3 million in the month. Data released by the Labor Department showed jobless claims fell by 1,000 to 217,000 in the week ended October 27th. Data from Markit Economics showed the S&P Global US Composite PMI was revised higher to 48.2 in October 2022 from a preliminary estimate of 47.3, compared with September's 49.5.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 146.51 points or 0.46 percent to 32,001.25, Nasdaq dropped 181.86 points or 1.73 percent to 10,342.94 and S&P 500 was down by 39.8 points 1.06 percent to 3,719.89.
