In the early morning of the 7th Beijing time, US stocks closed down on Thursday, and the main stock index fell for the second day in a row. Treasury yields rose again, putting pressure on the stock index. The news of a sharp cut in OPEC+ production added to inflation fears. The number of people claiming unemployment benefits for the first time in the United States last week was higher than expected at 219000.

On Thursday, the Labor Department reported that first-time claims for unemployment benefits in the United States stood at 219000 last week, the highest level since the end of August, ending two consecutive months of decline. The expected value is 203000, with a previous value of 193000.

The Labor Department will release non-farm payrolls data for September on Friday. The market fears that the data will not convince the Fed that the US labor market has slowed.

Top US stock turnover on Thursday$Tesla (TSLA.US)$It closed down 1.11% on a turnover of $16.4 billion.Musk said he was willing to complete the Twitter deal for $54.20 a share on Oct. 28, according to court documents. Musk also said that if a deal cannot be reached with Twitter, the lawsuit can be resumed.

Negotiations between Mr Musk and Twitter to reach an agreement on a $44 billion deal were stalled, in part because Mr Musk said the deal depended on his access to $13 billion in debt financing, according to people familiar with the matter. The original agreement did not include this unexpected condition.

Sources said Musk wanted to reduce the purchase price by 30%, but was rejected by Twitter. Before Tesla, Inc. CEO Musk announced that he would continue to pursue the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, Musk tried to lower the purchase price but was rejected by Twitter, according to four people familiar with the matter.

In the weeks before announcing the continued acquisition of Twitter, Musk's representatives approached Twitter several times in the hope of renewing the deal at a lower price, according to these people familiar with the matter. Mr Musk initially asked for a discount of up to 30 per cent, meaning the purchase price would fall to about $31 billion from about $44 billion, but Twitter rejected the offer, according to three of the people familiar with the matter.

In the past week, Musk has reduced the discount to about 10%, or $39.6 billion for Twitter. But in the end, the bargaining between the two sides made no progress.
