<ul class="summary-list"><li>Indexes slipped Thursday as traders focused on remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.</li><li>Powell said the Fed is in no hurry to cut rates, and reiterated the strength of the US economy.</li></ul>Indexes ended lower on Thursday, with the election rally fizzling out as traders digested remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and assessed the latest inflation data. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq fell more than 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost over 200 points. The 10-year Treasury yield, meanwhile, remained nearly flat at 4.447%, hovering close to its highest level since July.Here's where US indexes stood at the 4:00 p.m. closing bell on Thursday:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">S&amp;P 500</a>: 5,949.17, down 0.6% </li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/dow_jones?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a>: 43,750.86, down 0.47% (-207.33 points)</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_composite?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Nasdaq composite</a>: 19,107.65, down 0.64%</li></ul>The slide comes after Powell signaled the Fed is in no rush to cut interest rates while the US economy remains on solid footing. "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates," Powell said during prepared remarks at an event in Dallas. "The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully."Powell added the US has had the best domestic growth of any major economy, and emphasized the strength of the labor market. He said the October jobs report's slowing job growth was largely due to storm-related damage.Powell's comments come as investors seek hints of the Fed's intended easing path after a 25 basis point cut last week. Trump's election win has sparked worries that inflation could rise again under his proposals for broad tariffs and mass deportations, which could cause the Fed to pause rate hikes, economists say.Traders expect the central bank to cut another 25 basis points at its December meeting before pausing in January, according to the CME <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">FedWatch tool</a>.Powell's comments also follow the latest inflation reading which shows wholesale prices rose 0.2% in October, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.The data was in line with expectations but showed inflation remains somewhat sticky, with a year-over-year increase of 2.4%.The core producer price index, which excludes food and energy prices, rose 0.3% in the month and 3.1% year-over-year.Meanwhile, jobless claims data on Thursday, showed weekly claims dropped to their lowest since May, falling to 217,000 last week.

Stock market trading is something that needs expert guidance and has its own set of risks associated. This is why, people generally consult experts before investing in stocks. However, one needs to be careful who they are seeking advice from when it comes to financial matters. In a recent case, a 63-year-old man from Hyderabad lost Rs 50 lakh after falling for a fraudulent stock trading scheme shared through a <keyword id="790242" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp" source="Orion">WhatsApp</keyword> group. This is just one example of how fraudsters are increasingly using messaging platforms to lure in victims with false promises of easy profits. <h2>How the scam unfolded </h2> The scam began when the victim received an invitation to join a WhatsApp group called Stock Discussion Group. According to a Times Now report, the group was led by a man named <keyword id="23828130" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kunal-singh" source="keywords">Kunal Singh</keyword>, who introduced himself as a financial advisor with extensive experience in the stock market. Singh claimed that his past clients had earned significant profits, boasting of returns as high as 500% by following his stock trading advice. Intrigued by these promises, the victim enrolled in online classes that were promoted within the group. These sessions, held through private links shared on WhatsApp, promised to teach participants how to make money by investing in the stock market. Singh continued to assure group members that his expertise would guide them to financial success. The victim, trusting his guidance, began to invest small amounts of money on a platform called Skyrim Capital, which Singh claimed was a legitimate trading platform. At first, the victim saw some returns on his investment, which only encouraged him to invest more. The initial success built his confidence, and over time, he transferred a total of Rs 50 lakh into multiple investments, believing that he was making wise financial decisions. However, when the victim attempted to withdraw his funds, he was unable to do so. The platform blocked his attempts, and when he tried to contact Singh, he received no response. The truth behind the scam The victim soon realised that he had been scammed. The platform, Skyrim Capital, turned out to be nothing more than a front for fraudulent activity, and Singh had disappeared with the man’s money. The scam had been carefully designed to build trust initially, only to betray the victim when he tried to cash out. The fraudsters used the lure of high returns and expert advice to convince the victim to keep investing larger sums, ultimately draining his finances. This scam is just one of many that have been reported in India, with cybercriminals exploiting the convenience and popularity of platforms like WhatsApp to reach potential victims. These scams often rely on false promises and fake personas, with fraudsters creating elaborate stories to convince their targets that they are legitimate financial advisors.

Stock market today: Indexes fall from records as chip rout drags tech shares lower

<ul class="summary-list"><li>US indexes were mixed on Wednesday as traders took in the latest inflation data.</li><li>Core inflation rose 0.3% in August, slightly above economists' expectations.</li></ul>US stocks traded mixed on Wednesday as investors took in last month's inflation report, which showed an unexpected increase in the monthly core consumer price index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than 400 points shortly after the opening bell. Bond yields rose as traders readjusted expectations for a jumbo rate hike of 50 basis points at next week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. August inflation came mostly in line with economists' expectations, with the consumer price index rising 2.5% year-per-year last month — the slowest pace of inflation recorded since February 2021.But core inflation, which excludes more volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.3% for the month, slightly hotter than anticipated.The surprise increase led investors to almost completely discount the possibility of a 50 basis point rate cut at the Fed's next policy meeting. Markets are now pricing in an 83% chance central bankers will trim rates by 25 basis points, up from 66% odds priced a day ago, according to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">CME FedWatch tool</a>."Core inflation beating expectations in August should tilt the Fed toward an initial 25 bps rate cut next week," Josh Jamner, an investment strategy analyst at ClearBridge Investments, said in a note on Wednesday. "Further signs that inflation may be a bit stickier than previously thought would likely result in a slower and shallower cutting cycle. This would be a disappointment to short-term bond markets," he added, noting that investors had priced in over 250 basis points worth of cuts by the end of next year."The August CPI report was like the Hippocratic Oath, it did no real harm to the financial markets," Jack McIntyre, a portfolio manager at Brandywine Global, wrote in a note. "A 50bps cut should not be in the cards as the recession call needs further deterioration in the labor market and the Fed likes its optionality."Fed officials are set to meet next week to discuss the central bank's next policy move. The latest inflation data is expected to be a major input for central bankers, in addition to producer price data and jobless claims on Thursday.

Stock market today: Indexes fall, oil surges on Middle East turmoil ahead of jobs report     

<ul class="summary-list"><li>September trading started off with a slump as US indexes slid Tuesday morning.</li><li>Investors are bracing for key labor data to come on Friday.</li></ul>September trading kicked off with major indexes dipping as the market repositioned itself ahead of a few key data points due throughout the week.While soft landing hopes helped the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average notch their fourth-straight monthly gain at the end of August, all eyes are now on manufacturing and labor data to see whether this trend still has legs.On Tuesday, US manufacturing data will offer investors insight into how well the economy is keeping up, but the real test will follow on Friday, when August's nonfarm payrolls report is scheduled for release.Economists predict that US employers added 162,000 jobs last month, which suggests that the unemployment rate will back down modestly from 4.3% to 4.2%.However, if the release shows any labor deterioration that sends the unemployment rate meaningfully higher, it could force the Federal Reserve to cut by more than expected during its September 18 policy meeting. As demonstrated after July's weaker-than-expected labor data, that result could roil markets and spark fears that the US economy is slowing. What's more, September is traditionally a <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-september-season-fed-cuts-election-investing-2024-8">challenging month for the stock market,</a> and investors may have to brace for more volatility ahead.Here's where US indexes stood shortly after the 9:30 a.m. opening bell on Monday:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">S&amp;P 500</a>: 5,602.97, down 0.8%</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/dow_jones?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a>: 41,378.55, down 0.41% (-169.39 points)</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_composite?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Nasdaq composite</a>: 17,473.64, down 1.32%</li></ul>Here's what else is going on:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/commodity-bull-rally-begins-gold-oil-outlook-high-inflation-2024-8">Commodities are a better investment than bonds through the rest of this decade</a>, BofA says.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/loreal-heir-richest-woman-billionaire-francoise-bettencourt-meyers-fortune-2023-12">The heir to L'oréal has become the first woman with a $100 billion fortune.</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fed-rate-cuts-jerome-powell-adam-posen-jackson-hole-unemployment-2024-8">Jerome Powell may regret narrowly focusing on labor during his Jackson Hole speech</a>, think tank expert says.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-outlook-ukraine-war-worker-shortage-population-brain-drain-2024-8">Russia's brain drain is the biggest issue facing its economy</a>, an economist says.</li></ul>In commodities, bonds, and crypto:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price?type=wti&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">West Texas Intermediate</a> crude oil slid 2.72% to $71.66 a barrel. <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Brent crude</a>, the international benchmark, dropped 2.88% to $75.29 a barrel.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/gold-price?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Gold</a> stayed essentially flat at $2,495.05 an ounce.</li><li>The 10-year Treasury yield fell five basis points to 3.854%.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/btc-usd?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Bitcoin</a> inched up 0.27% to $59,256.</li></ul>

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Stocks tumbled sharply on Thursday, dragged down by tech. </li><li>Microsoft and Meta stock dropped on renewed concerns over AI spending. </li></ul>US stocks fell sharply on Thursday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq sliding almost 3% as Meta and Microsoft faced steep losses.The tech sell-off was sparked by the latest earnings from mega-cap firms that mostly exceeded estimates but disappointed investors in other areas and exacerbated concerns about heavy investment in artificial intelligence. The S&amp;P 500 dropped almost 2% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 370 points.

Microsoft said it expects the current quarter's revenue to come in between $68.1 billion and $69.1 billion, while analysts polled by FactSet had expected $69.89 billion. The company attributed the slowdown partially to its investment in cloud computing capacity for AI demand.Microsoft's stock fell 6% to close at $406.35. Meta, meanwhile, said it expects a ramp up in capital expenditures in the next year as it continues to spend on AI, and raised its capex forecast for this year to a range of $38 billion to $40 billion, from $37 billion to $40 billion.Analysts from UBS, though, remain positive that the increased spend will deliver."While Meta continues to signal a significant increase in CapEx for 2025, the results also highlighted multiple offsets to illustrate what the investments will start to bring - as we have been calling out previously, the easiest item to observe is the absolute step up in revenue dollar growth in 2024 which stands at ~$28B currently and nearly matching the Pandemic-driven acceleration from 2021 of ~$29B," the analysts wrote in a Thursday note.Meta's shares lost 4% to close at %567.68. Also on Thursday, investors digested the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge. The personal consumption expenditures index cooled to 2.1% year over year in September from 2.2% in August, but the core index—which excludes volatile food and energy prices—came in higher than forecasts at 2.7%.Jobless claims, meanwhile, fell by more than expected to 216,000 last week, a fall of 12,000 from the week prior.

"US equities have been very strong coming into this election cycle compared to the past," the analysts said. "The current anomaly has less to do with the market pricing a certain election outcome but more to do with an expectation of continued interest rate cutting combined with a likely shallower US economic slowdown.After the election, investors will shift their attention to the Federal Reserve.
