Market Recap – September 6th
On Wednesday’s trading day, markets continued to sputter to lower levels as investors continued to digest economic data. For a slow start to September, investors are focused on interest rates, and whether the Federal Reserve will choose to hike rates further at any of the three remaining meetings for the year. For the main indices, the S&P 500 dropped 0.70%, the NASDAQ Composite went down 1.06%, and the Dow Jones fell 0.57%. Some of the biggest price action came from the theater chain and popular meme stock AMC Entertainment. Following their announcement to raise cash through common stock offerings, shares of AMC fell 36.80% into the bell, reaching a new record low for the security. On the flip side, a company that performed quite well in financial markets was NextGen Healthcare, climbing 14.65% after private equity firm Thoma Bravo announced their purchase of the healthcare software company at $23.95 per share.
