S&P 500, Nasdaq end at records ahead of August jobs data
NEW YORK (AFP) - Major US equity indices again finished at records on Thursday (Sept 2) following better weekly jobless claim data ahead of the closely-watched August employment report. The Labour Department reported a seasonally adjusted 340,000 new filings for aid in the week ended Aug 28, 14,000 less than the previous week's upwardly revised level and the lowest since Covid-19 caused millions of layoffs in March 2020. The report comes ahead of Friday's labour data, which is expected to show the United States added 750,000 positions last month, with the unemployment rate falling to 5.2 per cent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 0.4 per cent at 35,443.82. The broad-based S&P 500 gained 0.3 per cent to 4,536.95, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 0.1 per cent to 15,331.18. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished at all-time high closing records. "We're really inching forward here in what seems to be a wait-and-see mode for tomorrow's economic data," said Art Hogan, chief strategist at National Securities. Analysts will scrutinise Friday's jobs report for signs of when the Federal Reserve might begin scaling back its massive stimulus programme, as its chief Je...

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Amazon.com, one of the biggest winners of the Covid-19 pandemic, posted record profits on Thursday (April 29) and signaled that consumers would keep spending in a growing US economy and converts to online shopping are not likely to leave. Since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, shoppers have relied increasingly on Amazon for delivery of home staples, and the company sees this trend continuing post-pandemic, particularly for groceries. While brick-and-mortar stores closed, Amazon has now posted four consecutive record quarterly profits, attracted more than 200 million Prime loyalty subscribers, and recruited over 500,000 employees to keep up with surging demand. Amazon said it expects operating income for the current quarter to be between US$4.5 billion and US$8 billion (S$6 billion-S$10.6 billion), which includes about US$1.5 billion in costs related to Covid-19. Shares rose 4 per cent in after-hours trade on Thursday. Throughout the pandemic, the world's largest online retailer has been at the centre of workplace tumult, with a failed attempt by organized labor to unionize an Amazon warehouse in Alabama and litigation in New York over whether it put profi...
