U.S. markets took a breather on Thursday after a strong rally, as investors weighed remarks from Federal Reserve officials and braced for the start of the third-quarter earnings season.
The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% after touching a fresh intraday record high of 6,764.58, while the Nasdaq Composite eased 0.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 243 points (0.5%).
Investors also kept an eye on the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, now in its second week, which could delay upcoming economic data releases. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made brief remarks at a conference but avoided direct comments on interest rates, leaving the market narrative largely unchanged amid a data-light backdrop.
With the new earnings season set to begin next week, focus now shifts to whether trade tariffs and global economic disruptions have weighed on corporate performance, starting with results from major banks.
