Today's Research Reports on Trending Tickers: ACB NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2018 / U.S. equities plunged on Friday as concerns over rising interest rates countered upbeat economic data. U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 3.7 percent, its lowest since 1969, while wages rose by 2.8 percent in September, compared to the last year of the same month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.68 percent to close at 26,447.05, while the S&P 500 Index decreased 0.55 percent to close at 2,885.57. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 1.16 percent to close at 7,788.45.
According to Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities, “Wages are definitely trending higher, which is an alarming point for the market. That will likely keep the bond market under pressure, which means that yields will move higher and the dollar will continue to strength. All of that will weigh on stocks.” “I’m cautiously optimistic about equities going forward, but we’re looking at a lot of volatility in the short term and I believe we’re entering a defensive market,” he added.
