Wall Street Falls On Triple Witching Day, Fed's Waller Pushes Gold To Fresh Record Highs, FedEx Plummets: What's Driving Markets Friday?
Dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Friday was a lackluster session on Wall Street, with major U.S. averages lingering in negative territory at midday trading in New York. This session coincided with the simultaneous expiration of a large volume of options and futures contracts, commonly referred to as "triple witching."
週五是華爾街上一天乏味的交易日，美國主要股指在紐約午盤交易時仍停留在負面區域。本次交易 coincided 與大量期權和期貨合約同時到期，通常被稱爲"三重巫婆"。
However, rather than a sharp spike in volatility, stocks edged only slightly lower, failing to trigger a rise in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX).
然而，股票並沒有急劇波動，只是略微下跌，未能引發芝加哥期權交易所波動指數（VIX）上漲。
Investor sentiment remained defensive, with 10 out of 11 sectors of the S&P 500 falling, while utilities were the only sector to post a positive performance.
投資者情緒保持謹慎，標普500指數的11個板塊中有10個下跌，而公用事業是唯一一個發佈積極表現的板塊。
Dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller indicated that he expects "very low" August Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data.
聯儲局理事克里斯托弗·沃勒發表鴿派言論，表示他預計8月個人消費支出（PCE）數據將"非常低"。
Waller also hinted at the possibility of a 25 basis point rate cut in the next meeting or two if the data continues to come in as expected, with a stronger size of cut if the labor market weakens and inflation softens more rapidly.
沃勒還暗示，如果數據繼續如預期般出現，下次會議或接下來的兩次會議可能會減息25個點子，如果勞動市場疲軟並且通脹迅速減弱，則會進一步削弱。
Waller's comments sent gold surging past $2,600 per ounce, marking new all-time highs.
沃勒的評論導致黃金突破每盎司2600美元，創下新的歷史高點。
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) remained stable at $63,000.
與此同時，比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）維持在每枚63000美元的穩定水平。
