- US indices launched today's cash trading lower
- ADP well above expectations
- Bed Bath & Beyond Inc (BBBY.US) is taking into account bankruptcy filing
Three major Wall Street indices launched today's session in red, with Dow Jones trading 0.80% lower, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 0.85% and 0.9% respectively as strong data from the US labour market reinforced the narrative that the Federal Reserve will stick to its aggressive tightening. ADP report showed that private businesses created 235K jobs in December, higher than an upwardly revised 182K in November and well above market forecasts of 150K. Jobless claims fell to 204k, from the previous week's revised level of 223k and below analysts’ estimates of 225k. Also hawkish FOMC minutes and fresh remarks from several FED members put pressure on risky assets. Fed's George said the US central bank will maintain rates until 2024, while Bostic believes that despite signs that prices are moderating, there is still a lot of work to be done.
