All Stop!!?? (Market Recap Week Ending September 3)

September 4, 2021

All Stop!!?? (Market Recap Week Ending September 3)

Market Performance Week Ending September 3 

Dow 35,369 +308 or 0.88%  

Nasdaq 15,363 +691 or 4.7% 

S&P 4,535 +99 or 2.2% 

U.S. 10 Year Treasury Yield 1.326%, +1.1 bp or 0.84% 

Covid Hitting the Economy 

The rising surge of Covid-19 infections, hospitalization and deaths is starting to affect the economy. The economic data turned from “goldilocks” to concerning in the matter of a week. All data points disappointed this week with the exception of initial jobless claims which were a touch better than expectations and the unweighted ISM Manufacturing survey which also beat expectations. The most anticipated number, August Nonfarm Payrolls, was a complete disaster on Friday (235,000 jobs created vs expectations of 720,000) leading to speculation that the Fed plan to taper asset purchases will be pushed from the conclusion of their meeting later this month to no earlier than the conclusion of their meeting in November. Next week multiple Fed Presidents will be speaking which should give the markets some insight as to the direction the Fed is leaning towards tapering.  

COVID-19 Update 

Infections and deaths were higher again this week, although hospitalizations moderated. The daily average of new cases rose to 153,246, +4.9% vs the previous 7-day average. The 7-day moving average of deaths rose to 1,017, +3.7% vs the previous week. Hospitalizations fell to 12,156, down 1.7% from the prior average. On a hopeful note, vaccinations rose 3.3% to a daily average of 906,992 doses administered. 

Market Data Points Next Week 

Monday – Markets closed in observance of Labor Day. 

Tuesday – None. 

Wednesday – JOLTS. NY Fed President John Williams and Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan speak. 

Thursday – Initial Jobless Claims. Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, Dallas Fed President Kaplan, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari all speak. 

Friday – None. 

Last week’s trading… 

Monday– Dow (56) to 35,399, Nasdaq +136 to 15,265 (record close), S&P +19 to 4,528 (record close).
