The market downturn on August 5, 2024, stemmed from concerns over a potential US economic recession. Data from the US Department of Labor on August 2 indicated that unemployment had reached 4.3% in July, the highest since October 2021. The Federal Reserve had maintained the interest rate at 5.25-5.5%, leading to speculation that the Fed might be misjudging the economic situation by keeping the rate unchanged since July 2023.

Reuters notes that the Fed is striving to stabilize markets, with San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly stating the regulator’s readiness to cut rates if necessary.

Additionally, the US services business activity index rose to 51.4 points in July 2024, up from 48.8 points in June, which helped alleviate some concerns. Bloomberg suggests that upcoming economic data will play a crucial role in influencing both the stock market and the Fed’s future rate decisions.
