Daily Morning Note – 4 Sep 2020
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Wall Street’s main indices closed sharply lower on Thursday, marking their deepest one-day declines since June as investors dumped the high-flying technology sector, while economic data highlighted concerns about a long and difficult recovery.
The Nasdaq led the pullback with a decline of almost 5 per cent a day after it and the S&P 500 posted record closing highs. The Nasdaq’s biggest drags came from heavyweights Apple Inc, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Tesla and Nvidia.
Earlier in the day, data showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, but remained extraordinarily high.
Separately, a survey showed US services industry growth slowed in August, likely as the boost from the reopening of businesses and fiscal stimulus faded.
