Tech, Consumer Discretionary Stocks Fall, Utilities Sector Outperforms On Surprisingly High Inflation, Jobless Claims Data
Despite this marking the sixth consecutive decline in annual inflation, core inflation — which excludes volatile food and energy — rose unexpectedly from 3.2% to 3.3%, marking its first increase since March 2023.A hotter-than-expected September Consumer Price Index inflation report, combined with a surprising spike in weekly jobless claims, weighed on major stock indices in early New York trading Thursday, while sparking diverging performances among sectors.
在週四紐約早盤交易中，預期之外的9月消費者價格指數通脹報告，以及周初索賠出現意外激增，對主要股指構成了不小的壓力，同時也引發了各板塊間表現的分化。
Technology and consumer discretionary stocks led the declines, while utilities outperformed, with the latter rebounding from significant losses earlier in the week.
科技和消費非必需類股領跌，而公用事業板塊表現強勁，後者從本週早些時候的重大損失中反彈。
Inflation Tops Estimates, Claims Likely Affected By Hurricane Helene
通脹超過預期，索賠可能受到颶風海倫的影響。
The annual headline inflation rate dipped slightly from 2.5% in August to 2.4% in September, but came in above economist forecasts of 2.3%.
8月份的年度總體通脹率從2.5%略微下降至9月的2.4%，但高於經濟學家預測的2.3%。
Despite this marking the sixth consecutive decline in annual inflation, core inflation — which excludes volatile food and energy — rose unexpectedly from 3.2% to 3.3%, marking its first increase since March 2023.
儘管這標誌着年度通脹連續第六個月下降，但核心通脹（不包括波動較大的食品和能源）意外上升從3.2%到3.3%，標誌着自2023年3月以來的首次增長。
Monthly inflation readings also came in slightly above expectations for both headline and core metrics, though they showed no acceleration from August's growth pace.
月度通脹數據也略高於總體和核心度量的預期，儘管未顯示出從8月份增長步伐的加速。
With the Federal Reserve's heightened focus on labor market dynamics, markets closely watched the latest jobless claims report, which revealed a surprising jump to 254,000, the highest since July 2023.
隨着聯儲局加大對勞動力市場動態的關注，市場密切關注最新的失業索賠報告，數據顯示申領失業救濟人數意外躍升至25.4萬，爲2023年7月以來的最高水平。
Some experts, like Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, attributed the spike to temporary disruptions caused by Hurricane Helene and said he anticipates similar effects from Hurricane Milton in the coming weeks.
一些專家，如聯信銀行首席經濟學家比爾·亞當斯，將這一激增歸因於颶風海倫造成的暫時性中斷，並表示他預計在未來幾周類似的影響將持續存在。
Overall, the two key data releases pushed the S&P 500 down from record highs reached the previous day while boosting expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in November. Notably, market-implied odds of a November rate cut inched up from 76% to 86% after the reports.
總體而言，兩大關鍵數據發佈使標準普爾500指數從前一天創下的紀錄高點下跌，同時提振了人們對11月減息25個點子的預期。值得注意的是，市場隱含的11月減息概率在報告發布後從76%上升至86%。
