NASDAQ, S&P 500 DIP; FOCUS ON LABOR MARKET
The S&P 500 .SPX and Nasdaq .IXIC ended slightly lower on Wednesday, extending Tuesday's losses, after data showed that U.S. job openings dropped to a 3-1/2-year low in July. The Dow .DJI ended higher.
The data signalled the labor market was losing steam, but maybe not enough for the Federal Reserve to consider a big interest rate cut this month.
The report came two days before the big U.S. monthly jobs report.
Investors are focused on whether the Fed's expected interest rate cut at its Sept. 17-18 meeting will be by 25 or 50 basis points.
Energy .SPNY and materials .SPLRCM had the biggest declines among S&P 500 sectors on the day, while utilities .SPLRCU gained.
