US stocks mostly fall as Fed avoids dovish shift
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Traders working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, in New York City, on July 30. NEW YORK - Wall Street stocks finished mostly lower July 31 after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates flat and refrained from signaling it will soon cut interest rates. The Fed, as expected, held interest rates steady, despite relentless pressure from US President Donald Trump for an interest rate cut. In a press conference, Fed chairman Jerome Powell emphasised future monetary policy decisions would depend on economic data. 'Powell sounded more hawkish than what markets were hoping for,' said Mr Angelo Kourkafas, of Edward Jones. Futures markets lowered their odds for a September interest rate cut following the press conference and statement, which included no major tweaks that would have implied an imminent interest rate cut. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 0.4 per cent at 44,461.28. The broad-based S&P 500 shed 0.1 per cent to 6,362.90, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.2 per cent to 21,129.67. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

But GDP in both quarters was heavily influenced by import activity in response to Trump's aggressive trade policy. Mr Powell flagged heightened uncertainty surrounding trade talks. 'It's been a very dynamic time for these trade negotiations,' he told reporters at a press conference. 'We're still a ways away from seeing where things settle down.' AFP

South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol, Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan and Minister for Trade Yeo Han-koo met U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday, according to the finance ministry. Industry and trade ministers have been in Washington since last week to reach a deal before August 1, a deadline set by Trump for 25% tariffs to kick in against South Korea, a major U.S. ally and powerhouse exporter of chips, cars and steel. Pressure has been mounting on South Korea since Japan clinched a deal to cut Trump's threatened tariffs to 15% earlier this month. Top business leaders were also reported to be flying in to help lobby for a deal on U.S. tariffs. The South Korean government is negotiating with the U.S. by setting up a package of trade and offers on industrial cooperation such as in shipbuilding, chips and batteries, officials say. REUTERS
