Dow drops 400 points to close out losing April as Fed decision looms (Yawn)
(Oil and Natty gas down too with Au down 1.56% and Ag down over 2.5%)
Stocks tumbled on Tuesday to close out a losing month after higher-than-expected wage data raised fresh inflation concerns ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision on Wednesday.
The S&P 500 edged down by 0.9% and was set to snap a 5-month winning streak with a 3% loss for April. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 408 points, or 1%, bringing its losses for the month to 4.3%. The Nasdaq Composite shed 1.1% to cap a 3% decline for the month.
The Labor Department said Tuesday the employment cost index, a measure of wages and benefits, added 1.2% in the first quarter, above the 1% consensus estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones. Treasury yields jumped following the data,with the 2-year yield topping 5%.
The Fed will make its interest rate decision Wednesday afternoon and officials are likely to express a reluctance to lower interest rates anytime soon as inflation data continues to point to elevated price pressures. The new labor cost report is “not a number that will incline the Fed to change their ‘there is no rush to ease’ stance,” said Tom Fitzpatrick, managing director for global market insights at R.J. O’Brien and Associates. Despite the April setback, the S&P 500 is still up more than 25% from its low last October as investors bet the economy could withstand higher rates and piled into AI plays like Nvidia. Data in the past month raised questions about whether stubborn inflation was weakening the economy while keeping the Fed in a restrictive mode. McDonald’s
in its quarterly report Tuesday warned about a more selective consumer due to higher prices. Nvidia traded into the red on Tuesday as it closed out April with a 3% decline. The favorite AI play of investors was up for five months straight before this month. Shares of Amazon, another big winner of the bull market, dipped before its quarterly update after the bell Tuesday. Following the Fed’s decision Wednesday, investors will next need to grapple with the April jobs report Friday.

When it’s not going their way it’s “not expected”
Literally everything they put out is crap.
Higher wages just goes with the entire “higher for longer” interest rate PsyOp.
They’ve admitted this tacitly before along with saying 3% is their “new” 2% for inflation
Both pipe dreams
Rate cuts come when the bond market demands them.
2y over 5% 30 at 4.78% but nope they won’t be doing a reverse Operation Twist /s
FOMC just grocery clerks on all of it
Your issue not mine queenie
