Major US stock indexes have declined significantly, as the growth in US government bond yields to multi-year highs amid steady economic data and optimistic comments by the head of the Fed has raised concerns about accelerating inflation.
Some attention was also attracted by data on the United States. The Department of Labor said that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell to a 49-year low last week, indicating a steady strength in the labor market, which should continue to support economic growth. Primary claims for state unemployment benefits fell by 8,000 to 207,000, taking into account seasonal fluctuations for the week ending Sept. 29. The data for the previous week was revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported. Economists had forecast that in the last week, bids would fall to 213,000. The four-week moving average of initial hits rose by 500 to 207,000 last week.
Meanwhile, a report from the Department of Commerce showed that orders for US manufactured goods rose by 2.3% in August to $ 510.47 billion. Economists had expected an increase of 2.1% in August compared with the previous month. Orders for freight traffic, apparently, led to an increase in profits in August with an impressive increase of 13.1% compared with the previous month. It was the biggest gain in more than a year.
Most of the components of DOW finished trading in the red (24 of 30). Outsiders were NIKE, Inc. shares. (NKE, -2.81%). The growth leader was Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ, + 1.34%).
All sectors of the S & P recorded a decline. The largest decline was shown by the technology sector (-1.7%)

S & P 500 2,901.61 -23.90 -0.82%
Nasdaq 100 7,879.51 -145.57 -1.81%
New orders for manufactured durable goods in August increased $11.1 billion or 4.5 percent to $259.6 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today.

Shipments of manufactured durable goods in August, up three of the last four months, increased $1.9 billion or 0.8 percent to $253.1 billion. This followed a 0.1 percent July decrease. Transportation equipment, up two of the last three months, led the increase, $1.6 billion or 1.9 percent to $86.0 billion.
U.S. stock-index futures fell on Thursday, as a climb in Treasury yields to multi-year highs weighed on market sentiment.
