S&P 500, Nasdaq fall as megacaps slide after producer prices data

(Aug 11): The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell on Friday as rate-sensitive megacap growth stocks declined after hotter-than-expected producer prices data for July sent US bond yields higher.

US producer price index (PPI) climbed 0.8% in the 12 months leading to July, up from a 0.2% rise in the previous month, as costs of services increased. Economists polled by Refinitiv had expected a 0.7% gain.

Though traders broadly expect the Federal Reserve to not tighten credit conditions for the remainder of the year, bets for no rate hike in September slipped to 88.5% from 90% before the data landed.

"The PPI data shows that the inflation monster is still lingering but investors can see progress in the things that come under CPI," said David Russell, vice president of market intelligence at TradeStation.

Yield on the 2-year treasury note, that moves in line with near-term interest rate expectations, climbed to 4.88%, pressuring rate-sensitive technology and growth names.

Tesla, Nvidia and Microsoft lost between 1% and 3.1%.

Benchmark US indexes finished marginally higher in the previous session as worries about the US economy's longer-term prospects and concerns over further growth in stocks eclipsed milder-than-feared consumer prices data that had initially sent shares soaring.

The drop in megacap growth and technology stocks, which have led outsized gains this year, has put the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the S&P 500 on track to end lower for a second straight week.

At 11.28am ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 33.91 points, or 0.1%, at 35,210.06, the S&P 500 was down 13.13 points, or 0.29%, at 4,455.7, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 107.48 points, or 0.78%, at 13,630.51.

While US consumer sentiment dipped in August, Americans are optimistic that inflation will edge lower over the next year and beyond, according to a preliminary reading of a University of Michigan survey.

Keeping the Dow afloat, healthcare and energy sectors advanced.

"The market is seeing some healthy rotation, with money moving away from the large growth names into other sectors that were real laggards for a lot of the year," Russell added.

Among other movers, News Corp rose 3.3% after the Rupert Murdoch-owned media conglomerate beat quarterly profit estimates, thanks to its cost-cutting efforts.

US-listed shares of Chinese companies Alibaba and JD.com fell 4.1% and 5.8%, respectively, as Beijing's latest stimulus measures disappointed investors, while fresh data showed that the country's post-pandemic recovery was losing steam.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.10-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.49-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded four new 52-week highs and three new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 34 new highs and 131 new lows.

S&P 500, Nasdaq notch biggest weekly losses since March

NEW YORK (Sept 23): Wall Street see-sawed to a lower close on Friday, capping a tumultuous week during which benchmark Treasury yields hit 16-year highs and investors digested the Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish outlook revisions.

All three major US stock indexes oscillated for much of the session but ended red.

All three posted weekly losses, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq registering their largest Friday-to-Friday percentage drops since March.

On Thursday, the S&P 500 dipped below its 100-day moving average — a key support level — for the first time since March, Its failure to break above that level suggests the index is still under downward pressure.

"This week is about some Fed messaging colliding with overly optimistic equity investors," said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Hill added that investors have "wanted to trade peak interest rates for almost a year now". But he said it was clear in remarks this week by Fed Chair Jerome Powell "and in the dot plot that the Fed doesn't think we’re there yet".

"This week’s stock action has been about digesting that reality."

Benchmark US Treasury yields retreated from 16-year highs as investors turned their focus from hawkish Fed guidance to key economic data waiting in the wings.

Investors were still digesting the Fed's decision to let its key interest rate stand, but update its quarterly Summary Economic Projections to suggest restrictive monetary policy will remain in place longer than previously anticipated.

On Friday, remarks from Fed Governor Michelle Bowman supported the FOMC hawks, suggesting the Fed funds target rate should be raised further and held "at a restrictive level for some time" to bring inflation down to the central bank's 2% target.

"There are a lot of factors working against a soft landing and that’s something the Fed needs to be reminded of, because pushing rates higher could push us into recession," said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 106.58 points, or 0.31%, to 33,963.84, the S&P 500 lost 9.94 points, or 0.23%, to 4,320.06 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 12.18 points, or 0.09%, to 13,211.81.

Among the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, consumer discretionary suffered the steepest percentage loss, while tech and energy were the only gainers.

Ford Motor Co gained 1.9% after the striking United Auto Workers union reported progress in talks with the automaker.

Activision Blizzard added 1.7% in the wake Britain's antitrust regulator's statement that Microsoft Corp's restructured US$69 billion (RM323.71 billion) acquisition of the company by "opens the door" to the biggest-ever gaming deal being cleared.

US-listed shares of Chinese firms including PDD Holdings, JD.com, Li Auto and Baidu rose between 2% and 4% on signs of an economic a rebound, while Alibaba jumped 5% after Bloomberg reported that report the company's logistics arm Cainiao was planning to file for a Hong Kong IPO as soon as next week.

Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.12-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.29-to-1 ratio favoured decliners.

The S&P 500 posted one new 52-week high and 35 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 33 new highs and 321 new lows.

Volume on US exchanges was 9.47 billion shares, compared with the 10.09 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

S&P 500 potentially to fall another 5%: BoA Strategist

Yahoo Finance

Bank of America Strategist Michael Hartnett (BAC) warns of trouble ahead with the S&P 500 (^GSPC), claiming it's at risk of dropping another 5% after falling below 4200, just shy of a technical correction.

Stocks across the board have seen a decline in recent months due to seasonal trends as well as a myriad of economic headwinds from geopolitical conflicts to higher interest rates, and more.

Many investors were looking forward for a strong performance from the Magnificent Seven, but so far, those stocks have not been able to turn the market around.

The move comes as part of a triple fee reduction across SSGA’s UCITS S&P 500 suite, which also sees the TER of the SPDR S&P 500 EUR Hdg UCITS ETF (SPPE) fall from 0.12% to 0.05% and the SPDR S&P 500 ESG Leaders UCITS ETF (SPPY) from 0.10% to 0.03%.

The world’s third-largest ETF issuer noted US equities currently account for more than 60% of global equity indices, with Europe-domiciled ETFs investing close to $15bn a year in US equities over the past decade.

It added the upcoming reductions bring the firm’s total fee reductions over the past two years to 20 across its global ETF roster.

Why the S&P 500 could see biggest November rally since 2020

Yahoo Finance

The broader market has seen a bit of a rally, with the S&P 500 (^GSPC) up about 9% since late October.

This comes amidst cooling inflation, gains from Big Tech, and commentary from leadership of the Federal Reserve suggesting rate hikes may be over. But, will all of these lead to an extended recovery in the market?

Deutsche Bank strategists (DB) have commented that the recent rally has "unwound the impact of the rates volatility and geopolitical shocks rather than pricing in upside to economic growth."

Yahoo Finance

After RBC Capital Markets and Bank of America strategists made calls for a 5,000 year-end point target for the S&P 500 (^GSPC) in 2024, Deutsche Bank and BMO are predicting the index could reach as high as 5,100 next year.

Tematica Research Chief Investment Officer Chris Versace tells Yahoo Finance that these "numbers could be a little lofty even if the Fed begins to cut rates at the middle of the year."

Versace goes on to share his own 2024 predictions for the S&P 500.

Stocks: We are forecasting 5,000 on the S&P 500 for next year with a soft landing': BOFA strategist

Yahoo Finance

It has been the debate of 2023: Will there be a hard landing for the US economy? A soft landing? No landing?

Bank of America says that in 2024, we'll see a soft landing. The bank's strategists say 2024 will be the "the year of the landing," with a bullish price target of 5,000 for the S&P 500 (^GSPC).

Bank of America US & Canada Equity Strategist Ohsung Kwon joins Yahoo Finance Live to break down the call.

Kwon elaborates on how their strategists made their call: "We believe that earnings can continue to accelerate despite GDP potentially slowing down, and if that's the case, that actually has been the best environment for equities. When GDP is slowing down and EPS is accelerating, that doesn't happen very often but that's our base case actually. And if it does happen next year that sets up very well for equities."
