On Wednesday, October 3rd, U.S. markets closed lower as investors braced for the September payrolls report, which could influence future interest rate decisions. The slight rise in jobless claims signaled labor market softening, while escalating Middle East tensions pushed oil prices higher, adding to the cautious sentiment and prompting some profit-taking after recent gains.
In economic data, U.S. jobless claims rose by 6,000 to 225,000, slightly above estimates, while the S&amp;P Global services PMI was revised lower to 55.2 in September, down from 55.7 in August. The composite PMI also dipped to 54.
The majority of S&amp;P 500 sectors ended in the red, with consumer discretionary, materials, and real estate stocks leading losses, while energy and information technology sectors rose.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.44% and closed at 42,011.59. The S&amp;P 500 ended the day lower by 0.17% at 5,699.94, and the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.04%, finishing the session at 17,918.48.

Asia Mixed, Europe Markets Fall While Crude Rises On Middle East Tensions – Global Markets Today While US Slept

Chinese stocks surged to their highest levels in four months on Monday, following the People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s (PBoC) slashing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">a key interest rate</a>.
The surprise move reignites hopes for additional stimulus in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">world&#8217;s second-largest economy.</a> 
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) — which tracks major Chinese firms like Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Tencent Holding Ltd. (OTCPK: TCEHY), JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and Baidu Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NYSE">BIDU</a>) — is up more than 2% as of 11:20 a.m. ET in New York. It&#8217;s a level not seen since late May.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PBoC Cuts Rates, Inject Liquidity</h3>
On Sept. 23, the People&#8217;s Bank of China unexpectedly reduced the 14-day reverse repurchase rate by 10 basis points to 1.85%, down from 1.95%.
Additionally, the central bank injected CNY 74.5 billion ($10.2 billion) of liquidity into the banking system through this operation, according to an official statement. The PBoC also pumped CNY 160.1 billion via seven-day reverse repos, maintaining the rate at 1.7%.
These measures come on the heels of the central bank's decision last week to keep key lending rates at record lows, following surprise cuts in July. 
Monday&#8217;s policy moves in China are likely seen as part of broader efforts to stimulate consumption ahead of the National Day Holiday, a week-long break that starts on Oct. 1. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Chinese ADRs (American Depository Receipts) rallied sharply in response, outpacing broader market gains. 
Other Chinese-linked ETFs made moves Monday:
<ul>
<li>Kraneshares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) was up 2%</li>
<li>iShares MSCI China (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>), up 1.7%</li>
<li>Invesco China Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CQQQ#NYSE">CQQQ</a>) up1.6%.</li>
</ul>
On the same day, the U.S. Commerce Department proposed a ban on the import and sale of Chinese-made vehicles equipped with automated driving systems and critical communications software and hardware due <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40981254/chinese-vehicle-tech-faces-biden-administration-ban-over-national-security-concerns-china-ev-stocks">to national security concerns</a>.
This ban is scheduled to take effect in 2027. 
Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers like Shanghai-based NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Guangzhou, China-based Xpeng Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NASDAQ">XPEV</a>) also joined the broader country stock rally despite the potential negative challenges from the new regulation.

Asia And Europe Markets Mixed; Oil Stays Below $70, Dollar Retreats - Global Markets Today While US Slept

On Tuesday, September 3rd, U.S. stocks closed sharply lower, marking a rough start to September, a historically weak month for markets. The S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow logged their steepest losses since early August, led by sharp declines in the tech, energy, and materials sectors.

Economic data showed S&amp;P Global manufacturing PMI for August was revised lower to 47.9, while the ISM PMI rose to 47.2, missing the 47.5 estimate.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors fell, with energy, tech, and communication services posting the biggest losses, while real estate and consumer staples gained.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.51% and closed at 40,936.93. The S&amp;P 500 ended the day lower by 2.12% at 5,528.93, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 3.26%, finishing the session at 17,136.30.
