最新报道：According to Bijie.com, despite Apple and Amazon's earnings exceeding expectations, US stock indices fell as weak jobs data spooked investors. Despite the increased likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut, the weak employment data dealt a heavy blow to the stock market. On Friday, April 1st, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 620 points, or 1.42%, while the S&P 500 fell 1.75%. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 2.33%. The decline was primarily due to the July labor market report, which showed only 73,000 new jobs added, compared to expectations of 104,000. Tech stocks were among the biggest losers, with even Apple falling 2.5% despite strong earnings. The tech giant reported its highest revenue growth since December 2021. The report indicated that American consumers continued to spend despite inflation concerns stemming from the trade war. Apple also stated plans to significantly increase its investment in AI. Amazon also beat earnings expectations, reporting $1.68 per share compared to the $1.33 forecast. However, the company's third-quarter guidance was relatively conservative. This fell short of investor expectations, especially after the company's multi-billion dollar investment in AI. As a result, its stock was one of the biggest losers, falling 8%. While tech stocks have been hammered, there may be a silver lining. Specifically, a weakening labor market could force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. The CME FedWatch futures market currently projects an 83% probability of a September rate cut, up from 38% a day earlier—possibly due to disappointing jobs data. The Federal Reserve's dual mandate is to maintain low inflation and high employment. So far, despite disagreements among Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members, the central bank has resisted pressure from Donald Trump's White House to lower interest rates.
