U.S. STOCK PICKS
Closing: 4:00 PM EST
- Stocks tumbled on Tuesday to close out a losing month after higher-than-expected wage data raised fresh inflation concerns ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision on Wednesday.
- The S&P 500 dropped 1.57% to close at 5,035.69 The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 570.17 points, or 1.49% to finish the session at 37,815.92. The Nasdaq Composite shed 2.04% to 15,657.82.
- It was a notably ugly April for the major averages, with the Dow losing 5% for its worst monthly performance since September 2022. The S&P 500 slid about 4.2% this month, and the Nasdaq lost 4.4%. The three major averages snapped five-month winning streaks.
- The Labor Department said Tuesday the employment cost index, a measure of wages and benefits, added 1.2% in the first quarter, above the 1% consensus estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones. Treasury yields jumped following the data, with the 2-year yield topping 5%.
- The Fed will make its interest rate decision Wednesday afternoon, and officials are likely to express a reluctance to lower interest rates any time soon as inflation data continues to point to elevated price pressures.
- Despite the April setback, the S&P 500 is still up more than 20% from its low last October as investors bet the economy could withstand higher rates and piled into artificial intelligence plays like Nvidia. Data in the past month raised questions about whether stubborn inflation was weakening the economy while keeping the Fed in a restrictive mode.
- GE Healthcare Technologies tumbled 14.3% after it reported weaker results and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected.
- F5 dropped 9.2% despite reporting a better profit than expected. Its revenue fell short of forecasts, and it said customers were remaining cautious and forecasting largely flat IT budgets for the year.
- McDonald’s slipped 0.2% after its profit for the latest quarter came up just shy of analysts’ expectations. It was hurt by weakening sales trends at its franchised stores overseas, in part by boycotts from Muslim-majority markets over the company’s perceived support of Israel.
- Helping to keep the market’s losses in check was 3M, which rose 4.7% after reporting stronger results and revenue than forecast.
- Eli Lilly climbed 6% after turning in a better profit than expected on strong sales of its Mounjaro and Zepbound drugs for diabetes and obesity. It also raised its forecasts for revenue and profit for the full year.
- Starbucks shares sink 10% as same-store sales fall, quarterly results miss.
- Pinterest shares soar 16% on earnings beat, strong revenue growth.
