Publishing timestamp: 2024-09-05 21:06:45
Summary
Private sector hiring in the US is shrinking, with ADP reporting only 99000 new jobs in August. Markets were mostly down, with Nasdaq being the only index to see a slight increase. There are differing opinions on whether the Federal Reserve should slash interest rates by 50 basis points. Oil prices are falling, leading OPEC+ to delay its production hike. Nvidia's stock price has dropped significantly, but Bank of America sees it as a buying opportunity. The job market is a key indicator of economic health, and the latest data suggests a slowdown in hiring.
