Wendy's Weekly STOCK MARKET Report "The stock market was heavily influenced last week by new data on the labor market"
Market Week: September 8, 2025
The Markets (as of market close September 5, 2025)
The stock market was heavily influenced last week by new data on the labor market, which continued to show signs of cooling and bolstered expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this month. Throughout last week, Wall Street experienced some significant swings driven by economic data. The week began with a downturn but ended on a positive note, with both the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ hitting new record highs on Friday. Shares of big tech companies were a major factor in the market's overall movement. Otherwise, the most significant economic news was last Friday's jobs report (see below), which further highlighted a slowdown in hiring. Ten-year Treasury yields fell sharply by last week's end, reaching the lowest level in five months, driven by the weakening labor market and a dovish outlook for an interest rate cut.
