The ISM said its manufacturing PMI fell to 46.8 in July from 48.5 in June, with a reading below 50 indicating contraction. Economists had expected the index to inch up to 48.8 percent.

Version 0.95 (2024-08-01 22:01:45.362000)

updates: Stocks retreated on August 1, 2024, as weak US economic news weighed on market sentiment. The retreat came after the release of disappointing economic data, including a drop in retail sales and a rise in jobless claims. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 200 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also declined. The weak economic data, along with concerns about the impact of the Delta variant on the economy, fears of inflation, and the possibility of the Federal Reserve tapering its bond-buying program, contributed to the retreat in stocks. This reversal from the recent record highs has made the market more volatile, with investors viewing the retreat as a buying opportunity. The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index came in at 46.8% in July, weaker than analyst estimates. Facebook parent Meta jumped nearly 5% after reporting better-than-expected profits. Semiconductor shares, including Nvidia, AMD, and Micron Technology, had a bruising session, with significant losses. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell opened the door to a September interest rate cut during a July 31 press conference. Markets will get another key US economic data point on August 2 with monthly jobs data.
