The S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose Wednesday on tech gains after a court ruling allowed Google to keep Chrome. Additionally, markets were lifted by anticipation of a Fed rate cut, with a 99% chance of September cut according to CME Fedwatch. Yesterday, Nasdaq was up 1% and S&P 500 up 0.5%. Dow Jones fell slightly.
However, weak economic data still concerns investors. The JOLTS report signals labor market weakening, with forecasts showing softer August payrolls and higher unemployment (4.3%) in Friday’s report.
Alphabet shares rose 8% as investors evaluated the relatively mild consequences from last year’s landmark antitrust case when Google was found to have an illegal search monopoly. Apple stock also rose 4% after hours on Tuesday as Google pays Apple billions yearly to be the default iPhone search engine, benefiting both companies.
On the tariffs front, President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court Wednesday to expedite a ruling on his appeal of lower court decisions finding most of his tariffs illegal. Trump seeks Supreme Court arguments by early November, rather than waiting until summer of next year. The ruling is paused until October 14, giving time for Supreme Court review.
Gold prices continued to rise. The precious metal reached new records above $3,578 on Wednesday, with further gains likely amid continued strong demand.
Thursday brings more labor market data with the ADP report expected to show 75,000 private jobs added in August, down from 104,000, and a slight rise in jobless claims. These precede Friday’s crucial jobs report, which will shape the near-term outlook for an already nervous market.
