Summary
Stock markets fell for the second day, with technology stocks hit the hardest. Job openings in the U.S. fell to the lowest level since January 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve is considering lowering rates despite inflation being slightly higher than 2%. The inverted yield curve briefly normalized, but analysts are still anticipating a recession. Traders believe there is a 45% chance of a 50-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's September meeting. Markets were mixed, reflecting a confused environment.
