NEW YORK, June 6 (Reuters) -The S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite finished a shade loweron Thursday ahead of a key labor market report, retreating from record highs reached in the previous session. The Dow was slightly higher.
Benchmark S&P 500 .SPX and Nasdaq .IXIC rose early and reached fresh intraday record highs, but then they retreated as technology stocks .SPLRCT dipped.
Utilities .SPLRCU and industrials .SPLRCI were the two other sectors that dragged the S&P 500 lower. The gainers were led by consumer discretionary .SPLRCD and energy .SPNY.
Nvidia NVDA.O fell 1.1% andwas back to being the world's third most valuable company the day after it jumped ahead of Apple AAPL.O to take second place.
Investors will watch Friday's crucial U.S. nonfarm payrolls report. The weekly jobless claims report was the latest data to indicate labor market easing, which could allow the Federal Reserve begin cutting interest rates. The European Central Bank delivered its first interest rate cut since 2019.
"It's a little bit of a pause before non-farm," said Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist at Bell Curve Trading in Boston. "It's not unusual. We had a big day yesterday and today people are getting their positions where they want to be before the payroll number," he said.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 78.84 points, or 0.20%, to 38,886.17, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 1.07 points, or 0.02%, to 5,352.96 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC lost 14.78 points, or 0.09%, to 17,173.12.
Gains in Nvidia and other AI-related players have largely driven Wall Street's rally this year, with the chipmaker accounting for roughly a third of the S&P 500's year-to-date gains of over12%.
Traders see a 68% chance of a September rate reduction, according to the CME's FedWatch tool, and have priced in about two cuts this year, as per data from LSEG. Forecasters polled by Reuters also expect two cuts.
"We are in an information vacuum between now and tomorrow," said Thomas Hayes, chairman at Great Hill Capital in New York. "But by and large we have entered a global, coordinated central bank easing policy in the West that excludes Japan, which will be tightening," he added.
