Thursday Morning's 14 Tech Stock Movers Include Datadog, PayPal and Zoom
February 10, 2022 10:39 am
Tech stocks got off to a slow start Thursday morning. The Nasdaq traded down about 1.7%, the S&P 500 down by about 1.1% and the Dow down by around 0.5% shortly after the opening bell. All three also closed higher on Wednesday.
The consumer price index (CPI) rose 7.5% year over year in January, and consumer prices rose 0.6% month over month, according to the latest report from the U.S. Department of Labor. Excluding food and energy, core CPI rose 6% year over year and 0.6% month over month. This may signal more hawkish moves by the Federal Reserve to stem inflation, not a good indicator for equities.
At the same time, new claims for unemployment benefits last week came in at 223,000, below economists’ estimate for a rise of 230,000. Continuing claims totaled 1.62 million, unchanged week over week.
Tech stocks came out of the chute about 1.8% lower, while consumer cyclical stocks traded down around 1.5%. Ten of 11 market sectors traded lower in the first few minutes of Wednesday’s session, with energy, up 0.7%, posting the only gain.
