US stocks trade mixed while Facebook parent Meta leads rally in tech sector
US stocks were mixed at the open Thursday, while the Nasdaq Composite added to strong gains a day earlier led by Mark Zuckerberg's Meta.
Tech stocks rallied, with Meta up 20% on news of cost cutting measures after a $13.7 billion loss on investments in its Reality Labs project. The company plans to significantly reduce spending and increased a stock buyback plan by $40 billion. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve raised benchmark interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday, which met expectations. Chairman Jerome Powell also gave investors some reason to be optimistic by asserting"that the disinflationary process has started."
But he also cautioned that rates would remain"restrictive" in order to properly tame price pressures, and added that assuming victory in the inflation fight would indeed be"premature." The latest rate hike brings the fed funds rate to a target of 4.5%-4.75%.
