All three indexes are pacing for their third-straight weekly decline
To start the week, Wall Street reacted to comments from New York Fed President John Williams, who advocated for more restrictive policy in order to combat rising inflation. The major benchmarks logged their third-straight loss after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated this hawkish stance on interest rates at the Jackson Hole Symposium, and stumbled into September with further losses — and finished August in the red — after Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester fell in line with a similar sentiment. Thursday’s upbeat jobs data helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and S&P 500 Index (SPX) snap their losing streaks, though the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) logged its fifth-straight dip. The major indexes are heading for their third-straight weekly loss, though more jobs data is boosting sentiment on Wall Street.
