Financial stocks led declines, with 摩根大通、美國銀行、富國銀行均跌逾2%。美國總統特朗普表示考慮禁止大型機構投資者買入單戶住宅，百士通跌半成。
The technology sector saw a mixed performance, with three of the seven major companies declining. 英偉達 gained approximately 1%, while Alphabet rose 2.5%, pushing its market capitalization to $3.88 trillion and surpassing 蘋果 for the first time since 2019. 英特爾, developing gaming chips, saw a 6.4% increase in its stock price. Healthcare stocks, which had been under pressure in recent days, rebounded, with 禮來 and Abbvie rising more than 4%.
Shares of defense companies, which had previously shown strength, declined, with 洛歇馬丁 and General Dynamics falling more than 4%. Trump stated that U.S. defense companies must increase investment in research and development, or he will prohibit them from issuing dividends or buying back shares. He further stated after market close that 雷神’s response was “irresponsible” and that it must halt share buybacks immediately, causing its stock to continue to fall in extended trading.
“From a stock market perspective, recent events in South America have not altered the outlook for U.S. economic growth,” said Keith Buchanan, Senior Fund Manager at Globalt Investments.
“There is certainly a degree of complacency in the market regarding the rising geopolitical risks, but we don’t believe what’s happening in Venezuela has had any material positive or negative impact on market judgment. Our sense is that the whole situation remains like a powder keg.”
Amid concerns about a potential major correction this year as U.S. stocks repeatedly hit new highs, a Wall Street Journal report suggests investors may be overly worried. A survey of Elm Wealth’s clients found the average probability of the S&P 500 falling 30% in the next 12 months was 31%. A long-term survey by Yale University economist Robert Shiller showed a similar figure.
However, those betting with real money through options markets are assigning only an 8% probability of a collapse. TS Lombard Chief U.S. Economist Steven Blitz believes a probability of 8% to 10% is roughly correct, occurring once every 10 to 12.5 years, consistent with historical experience.
Economic data presented a mixed picture of the labor market. The ADP employment report, often referred to as the “small non-farm,” showed that private businesses added 41,000 jobs last month, a significant turnaround from a revised decrease of 29,000 in November.
On the other hand, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report released by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) showed that job openings fell to approximately 7.15 million as of the end of November, down from a revised 7.45 million the previous month and below economists’ expectations. Job openings decreased notably in the leisure and hospitality, health care and social assistance, and transportation and warehousing industries.
