Market Recap – August 10th
The inflation report was exactly what the markets needed to turn around, marking the first positive day since Monday, albeit morning gains were given up. The indices opened ย big in the morning before conceding most of the gains as the day went on, but investor optimism is higher than usual now. The bell rang with the S&P 500 up 0.03%, the Dow Jones up 0.15%, and the NASDAQ up 0.12%.
Yesterday’s winner was one of the largest weโve seen in a mile; Capri rose by 55.74% to $53.90 after being acquired by Tapestry, another luxury goods company in an $8.5 billion deal that is set to shake up the industry. On the negative side was everyoneโs favorite donut shop, Krispy Kreme, which fell by 13.68% to $12.43 after no changes in its guidance and mixed financial numbers, with net income ending up lower than year-ago levels.
