Wall Street Today | Market Falls Thursday, But Tech Climbs
The market was climbing Thursday morning, but within two hours, the market fell after ADP nonfarm payrolls came in at a three-year low. Just the 4 pm close, the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ traded fell 0.30%, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ fell 0.54%, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ climbed 0.25%
MACRO
Thursday, initial jobless claims figures from the Department of Labor Statistics came in at 227K, below last week's 230k. ADP numbers for private payrolls added to the economy showed just 99k jobs added in the past month, far below the 140k expected and the lowest number from ADP since 2021.
Wednesday, the JOLTS job openings came in lower than expected at 7.6M vs 8M. It is the lowest hiring data for open positions since 2021.
Tuesday, the S&P PMI and ISM PMI index numbers came out lower than estimated, with ISM at 47.2 vs 47.5 and S&P at 47.9 vs 48, compared to last month's 46.8 and 49.6, respectively.
Investors await Friday's nonfarm payrolls and the Bureau of Labor Statistics Unemployment rate. The market is watching for labor softness that could hurt stock prices but help the chances of an FOMC rate cut during the committee's upcoming September 17-18 meeting.
SECTORS
In commodities, Oil prices rose more than 1% at one point following a report that OPEC and its allies have reached a deal to pause their planned output hikes for two months, easing concerns about market oversupply.
According to Bloomberg, OPEC+ planned to increase oil supply starting in October to 180,000 barrels a day, and gradually stepping up further. However, Thursday the group delayed the hike due to concerns with global demand, pushing crude prices to their weakest levels in a year. $Crude Oil Futures(NOV4) (CLmain.US)$ finished at $69/barrel.

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ climbed 4% Thursday, the highest on the Nasdaq 100, after the firm said in a post it planned to launch self-driving assistance software in Europe and China in early 2025. The firm delayed its previous launch timeline this year and is awaiting regulatory approval.
