周四股市普遍下跌，标准普尔500指数连续第五个交易日下跌，投资者将注意力转向美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔即将在杰克逊霍尔发表的演讲。道琼斯指数下跌约125点，而纳斯达克指数因大型科技股持续疲软而下跌0.4%。沃尔玛股价下跌超过4%，尽管上调了全年销售额和利润前景，但自2022年以来首次低于预期，这给市场带来了压力。令人失望的结果，加上其他主要零售商的谨慎信号，突显了消费者在关税上调和支出趋势喜忧参半的情况下的不确定性。与此同时，首次申请失业救济人数高于预期，而标准普尔全球综合采购经理人指数显示，商业活动加速至三年来最快水平，反映出经济形势喜忧参半。交易员们现在正在等待鲍威尔周五的讲话，以明确9月份是否可能降息，期货市场定价的可能性为73%。
Stocks fell broadly on Thursday, with the S&P 500 sliding for a fifth straight session as investors turned their focus to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech at Jackson Hole. The Dow Jones dropped about 125 points, while the Nasdaq lost 0.4% amid ongoing weakness in big tech. Walmart weighed on markets after its shares slipped over 4% despite raising its full-year sales and profit outlook, as its quarterly earnings missed expectations for the first time since 2022. The disappointing results, combined with cautious signals from other major retailers, underscored consumer uncertainty amid higher tariffs and mixed spending trends. Meanwhile, jobless claims came in hotter than expected, while S&P Global’s composite PMI showed business activity accelerating to its strongest pace in three years, reflecting a mixed economic picture. Traders are now awaiting Powell’s remarks on Friday for clarity on whether a rate cut is likely in September, with futures markets pricing in a 73% chance.
