Market Recap – July 6th
On Thursday’s trading day, the Fed’s presumptions of a strong economy came true from June’s labor market data, sending indices far lower in the morning. Markets recovered losses throughout the day, still finishing in the red as investors worry over future tightening that may cripple several businesses. For the broad indices, the S&P 500 dropped 0.79%, the NASDAQ Composite went down 0.82%, and the Dow Jones fell 1.07%.
After successes from the largest airlines, several other airline players, unfortunately, fell into the red; shares of JetBlue Airways dipped by 7.18% at the bell after a federal judge ordered to end their partnership with American Airlines in May. Also, deep into the red was point-of-sale lender Affirm, shares of which fell 10.52% following a downgrade from analysts citing a weak outlook from higher interest rates and increased student debt repayments.
