U.S. STOCKS DIP AFTER DATA
Wall Street's main indexes are slightly lower early on Thursday after data on U.S. inflation and jobless claims came in higher than expected, keeping the Federal Reserve on track to ease interest rates by 25 basis points at its next meeting.
A majority of S&P 500 .SPX sectors are lower with industrials .SPLRCI and tech .SPLRCT the weakest groups. Energy .SPNY and utilities .SPLRCU are the leading gainers. That said, action is relatively subdued with no one group posting an absolute change of more than about 0.8%.
Under the surface, gold stocks .HUI are outperformers, while small caps .RUT are on the weaker side.
Meanwhile, the U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield US10YT=RR after hitting a high of 4.12% in the wake of Thursday's data, has backed off to around 4.08%. That still puts it up slightly on the day, and right around its 100-day moving average, which is now about 4.07%.
Of note, the yield's recent rise may be getting stretched to the upside. Through Wednesday, the yield has risen six-straight days. The yield last rose six days in a row in March of this year. The yield's last seven-day win streak was in May 2023. The yield last rose more than seven days in a row with a nine-day run of gains in September 2017.
