Nasdaq posts record closing high with tech gains, rate cut optimism
NEW YORK, Aug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended higher and Nasdaq scored a record closing high for the second straight day on Friday as technology-related shares, including Apple, gained amid optimism about expectations for rate cuts this year. The three major indexes also registered gains for the week. Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab shares climbed, extending recent gains. Earlier this week, U.S. President Donald Trump said Apple would invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S., bringing its total commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. The S&P 500 technology index (.SPLRCT), opens new tab also rose. Also helping the S&P 500, shares of Gilead Sciences (GILD.O), opens new tab rose after it raised its full-year financial outlook. With results in now from more than 450 of S&P 500 companies, estimated earnings growth for the second quarter was at 13.2% on Friday, up from 5.8% on July 1, according to LSEG. Recent weaker economic data has underpinned expectations for rate cuts, while investors are evaluating Trump's interim pick for a Federal Reserve governor. The president late in Thursday's session nominated Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran to a short-term board seat following Adriana Kugler's abrupt exit last week, as he narrowed his shortlist to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends on May 15. Miran, who is often aligned with Trump, has previously suggested Powell was "too late" in lowering rates. Traders now peg about a 90% chance of the first rate cut hitting next month, according to CME Group's Fedwatch tool, with futures pointing to at least two cuts by year-end. "There are certainly investors who think if the Fed is going to cut rates then the overarching theme is, don't fight the Fed on lower rates," said Rick Meckler, partner at Cherry Lane Investments, a family investment office in New Vernon, New Jersey. "The other side of the equation has really been the tariffs, and how the tariffs turn out remains uncertain. They are still being negotiated, and I don't think too many people want to be short knowing there could be quick reversals on any of the tariff decisions that now seem problematic." According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab gained 49.75 points, or 0.78%, to end at 6,389.75 points, while the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab gained 208.72 points, or 0.98%, to 21,451.42. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab rose 219.69 points, or 0.50%, to 44,188.33. Trump's higher tariffs on imports from dozens of countries kicked in this week. Investors also monitored U.S.-India trade relations as New Delhi shelved fresh U.S. arms and aircraft purchases, according to three Indian officials, after Trump hiked tariffs on Indian exports to 50% this week. Shares of Expedia (EXPE.O), opens new tab rose after the company raised its annual forecast for gross bookings and revenue growth.

Oil holds steady on reports of US-Russia deal
HOUSTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Oil largely held steady on Friday as markets awaited a meeting in coming days between Russian president Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump, but prices marked their steepest weekly losses since late June on a tariff-hit economic outlook. Brent crude futures settled 16 cents, or 0.2%, higher at $66.59 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were unchanged at $63.88. Brent fell 4.4% over the week, while WTI finished 5.1% lower than last Friday's close. U.S. crude had fallen over 1% after reports that Washington and Moscow were aiming to reach a deal to halt the war in Ukraine that would lock in Russia's occupation of territory seized during its military invasion, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. U.S. and Russian officials are working towards an agreement on territories for a planned summit meeting between Trump and Putin as early as next week, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. The potential meeting raises expectations of a diplomatic end to the war in Ukraine, which could lead to eased sanctions on Russia, and comes as trade tensions have been on the rise between Trump and buyers of Russian oil. This week, Trump threatened to increase tariffs on India if it kept purchasing Russian oil. Trump also said China, the largest buyer of Russian crude, could be hit with tariffs similar to those levied against Indian imports. "Various non-oil considerations are at play, including fears over the impact of tariffs and the headlines flying over the last few days regarding a Trump and Putin meeting in the near term," said Neil Crosby, an energy market analyst at Sparta Commodities. "Headline risk is particularly strong currently with flip-flopping regarding who will turn up to a meeting over Ukraine and under what circumstances." Higher U.S. tariffs on imports from a host of trade partners went into effect on Thursday, raising concern over economic activity and demand for crude oil, ANZ Bank analysts said in a note. OPEC+ agreed on Sunday to raise oil production by 547,000 barrels per day for September, the latest in a series of accelerated output hikes to regain market share, adding to supply. The U.S. oil rig count, an indicator of future supply, rose by one to 411 this week. "Bearish sentiment has returned this week as key OPEC+ members announced a second 'quadruple' output unwind for September (thus fully restoring their extra voluntary cuts of 2.2 mmb/d) and President Trump's sweeping import tariffs took effect against most countries," analysts at FGE NexantECA said. Trump on Thursday also said he will nominate Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Miran to serve out the final few months of a newly vacant seat at the Federal Reserve, fuelling expectations of a more dovish policy ahead. Lower interest rates reduce consumer borrowing costs and can boost economic growth and demand for oil. The dollar firmed on Friday but headed for a weekly fall. A stronger dollar hurts demand for dollar-denominated crude from foreign buyers.

Trump's team expands search for Fed chair to about 10 names, WSJ reports
Aug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's team is reviewing new contenders to lead the Federal Reserve once Chair Jerome Powell's term ends in May, including a longtime economic consultant and a past regional Fed president, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The 10 or so people on the newly expanded list include former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and Marc Sumerlin, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, WSJ said, citing officials. Trump last week said he had narrowed the list to four. National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett and former Fed governor Kevin Warsh remain under consideration, along with current Fed governor Christopher Waller, WSJ said. Reuters has previously reported that these three are candidates, but could not immediately verify the rest of the report. Trump has been criticizing Powell all year for not cutting rates, building on disappointment with the Fed chief that emerged during his first term as president shortly after he elevated Powell to the Fed chair role. It was not clear what a broader list of candidates would mean for the timing of an appointment. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is helping lead the search. The president moved quickly to name an ally to the Fed Board this week after Fed Governor Adriana Kugler, a Biden appointee who did not support rate cuts, unexpectedly resigned as of the end of this week. Council of Economic Advisers Stephen Miran will serve out the remaining months of Kugler's term, which ends on January 31. Trump has indicated a search continues for someone who could fill the Fed Board role for a 14-year term beginning February 1.
