US markets end mostly in red on Friday

19 Aug 2023 Evaluate

The US markets ended mostly in red on Friday as investors remained on sidelines amid concerns the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates higher for longer to control inflation. Minutes this week from the Federal Reserve rate-setting July meeting showed most members of the rate-setting committee continued to see significant upside risks to inflation, suggesting more hikes are in the pipeline. Now, attention turns to the Fed and other top central banks' annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Investors remained on sideline ahead of a speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell next Friday for clues about the interest rate outlook. Though, downside somewhat remained capped as the dollar and Treasury yields fell slightly from recent highs.

In stocks specific movements, Wallgreens Boots Alliance and 3M declined 2.2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively. Alphabet ended 1.9 percent down, and Meta Platforms declined 0.65 percent, while Apple ended modestly higher. Johnson & Johnson, Goldman Sachs, 3M, Amgen, Travelers Companies, Microsoft, Nike and Caterpillar posted modest losses. Discount store Ross Stores shares rallied 5 percent after the company raised its annual sales and profit forecasts. Walmart climbed nearly 1.5 percent, rebounding from recent losses. Boeing, Chevron, Coca-Cola, Cisco Systems and IBM gained 0.5 to 1 percent. 

Nasdaq lost 26.16 points or 0.20 percent to 13,290.78 and S&P 500 was down by 0.65 points or 0.01 percent to 4,369.71, while Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25.83 points or 0.07 percent to 34,500.66.
