Dow rises 200 points as Wall Street tries to recover from tech sell-off, Apple jumps 2%

Futures point to higher open as stocks look to rebound from Thursday’s losses
Stocks rose on Friday as Wall Street tried to recover some of its steep losses from the previous session after the of better-than-expected U.S. unemployment data.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 227 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 gained 0.6%. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4%..


The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 8.4% last month from 10.2% in July, the Labor Department said. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected the rate to decline to 9.8%. As for overall jobs creation, employment in the U.S. grew by 1.37 million in August, topping an estimate of 1.32 million.

“The jobs data today were solid,” said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. “However, now the real work begins.”

“The next 2-3% of employment gains are going to be very tough because there is no total re-opening in sight. PPP funds are running dry and the impasse in Congress to reauthorize another round for struggling small businesses most affected by the pandemic are recipes for a wave of small business closures,” Cox said.

Bank stocks rose following the data release as Treasury yields climbed. Citigroup, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase were all up at least 1.4%. Wells Fargo climbed 1%. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose to 0.66%. The 30-year bond rate advanced to 1.4%.

Wall Street was coming off a massive sell-off that was sparked by a plunge in tech stocks. On Thursday, the S&P 500 tech sector suffered its biggest one-day drop since March. Tech’s sell-off after the space drove the lion’s share of the broader market’s comeback off the coronavirus sell-off lows. Since March 23, the S&P 500 tech sector is up about 70%. For the year, tech has rallied more than 30%.


“We’ve had excessive valuations in the markets lately — particularly in the tech sector — and that needed to be corrected to some degree,” said Scott Knapp, chief market strategist at CUNA Mutual Group. “One needs to look no further than the recent irrational run-up in Tesla and Apple share prices after both companies announced a stock split to see overexuberance, especially among retail investors.”

Both Tesla and Apple rallied recently after announcing stock splits.

To be sure, more beaten-down parts of the market rebounded Thursday and added to those gains Friday. Cruise operator Carnival advanced 4.7% on Friday. United Airlines and Gap rose more than 1% each.

“We might finally see some rotations that could lead to new market leadership,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities. “That’s something we’ve been lacking for a long time.”

U.S. Unemployment Declined in August as Hiring Continued
Employers added 1.4 million jobs, jobless rate fell to 8.4%

U.S. employers added 1.4 million jobs in August and the unemployment rate fell to 8.4%, the Labor Department reported Friday, as the economy continued to rebound from the coronavirus pandemic.

The jobless rate’s decline—it has dropped from near 15% in April at the beginning of the pandemic—put it below the peak of 10% during the 2007-2009 recession and is in line with unemployment seen in past major recessions.

Still, unemployment remains significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in February, a half-century low, just ahead of the pandemic.

State reopenings helped boost employment this summer, but the gains have cooled in recent months. In August, the U.S. had about 11.5 million fewer jobs than in February, the month before the coronavirus hit the U.S. economy.

Temporary hiring for the U.S. Census helped boost government jobs in August. Payrolls also grew in retail, education and health services.

“We are in the hole by millions, and the longer we stay in that hole, the more people will suffer,” said Martha Gimbel, economist at Schmidt Futures, a philanthropic initiative.

The recovery has occurred in fits and starts. The number of small-business employees working rose swiftly from April through June but has since stagnated and was about 77% of January levels at the end of August, according to Homebase, a scheduling-software company.

The numbers of workers seeking and receiving unemployment claims also remains elevated at historically high levels, though both fell in late August, the Labor Department said Thursday. The totals represent a mixed picture for the labor market—and one where about 29 million people were receiving state or federal unemployment assistance in the middle of last month.

Some companies that reopened in late spring and early summer hired back a portion of their furloughed workers but aren’t seeing enough demand to bring employment back to precrisis levels.

Faust Hotel and Brewing Co. laid off all employees except for managers when it temporarily closed at the onset of the pandemic. The New Braunfels, Texas, company slowly brought back workers for its reopening at the end of spring, said McKenna Lewis, the hotel’s guest-services coordinator.

Faust is still operating with less staffing than before the economic crisis hit earlier this year, and Ms. Lewis doesn’t expect it to ramp up hiring. Hotel reservations were hurt by a decline in tourist traffic this summer. Business likely won’t pick up soon, especially now that Wurstfest is canceled, Ms. Lewis said, noting the German-sausage and drinking festival boosted New Braunfels’s fall tourism in pre-pandemic times.

“Ultimately we’re just trying to remain hopeful that people want to see us survive,” she said.

Sectors that were among the hardest hit at the start of the coronavirus crisis have been some of the quickest to recover jobs. The greatest employment growth occurred in July in industries including hospitality, retail and health care.

BluePearl Pet Hospital, a network of veterinary medicine hospitals across the country, is in hiring mode, thanks to a sharp rise in demand for vet services, said Jimmy Barr, the company’s chief medical officer. He attributes the increase in vet visits, in part, to a rise in pet ownership during the pandemic.

Individuals working from home are spending more time with their pets during quarantine and have more flexibility to seek care, Mr. Barr said.

Still, many businesses must operate under government-mandated capacity restrictions and consumers remain cautious about venturing out, reducing employers’ need for new workers.

Several large companies have warned of job cuts. United Airlines Holdings Inc. said Wednesday it plans to cut 16,370 staff amid a pandemic-driven slump in passenger demand. Coca-Cola Co. said last week it plans to lay off some employees and offer voluntary buyouts to about 4,000 employees in the U.S. including Puerto Rico, as well as Canada.

Economists say new company layoffs reflect a shift in employers’ mentality from earlier in the crisis, when many expected shutdowns would be over in a matter of weeks.

“People really thought that it was, ‘We’re just going to shut down for a few weeks and we’ll be back,’ ” Ms. Gimbel said. “If you are laying people off now, you kind of know that this situation isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It is highly likely that any layoffs that are happening now are intended as permanent.”

Just over one-third of employers expected hiring to return to pre-pandemic levels within a year, down from 66% of employers in April, according to a survey from staffing firm ManpowerGroup.

Shelby Burnette, age 19, recently landed a job as a part-time teaching assistant at a day-care center after months of joblessness.

The Newport News, Va., resident was laid off from her part-time job at a clothing store this spring. She held off on immediately applying for jobs because she didn’t feel safe returning to work given that a pre-existing lung condition put her at higher risk from the effects of the virus.

Ms. Burnette said she began filling out job applications online in June because she wouldn’t be able to financially sustain herself once the extra $600 a week in unemployment benefits expired at the end of July. Job prospects were slim, though.

“When I would apply, I wouldn’t hear anything back or sometimes there wasn’t anything to apply to. It was kind of like, ‘What am I supposed to do?’ ” Ms. Burnette said.

About a month ago she was hired to help supervise children at a local day-care center. She said she hopes to find another job with a higher wage soon, though.

Perú tiene proyectos mineros en construcción por US$ 8,365 millones
También hay una cartera con posibilidades de iniciar construcción en el corto plazo por US$ 3,110 millones


07:00 | Lima, set. 4.
Por Miguel De la Vega

El Perú cuenta con una cartera de proyectos en construcción por un valor de 8,365 millones de dólares, en medio de la pandemia del coronavirus, la cual continúa avanzando para entrar en operaciones próximamente, de acuerdo al Ministerio de Energía y Minas (Minem).

Se trata de los proyectos Ampliación de Toromocho en Junín con una inversión total de 1,355 millones de dólares, Mina Justa en Ica por 1,600 millones de dólares, Quellaveco en Moquegua por 5,300 millones y la Ampliación Santa María en La Libertad por 110 millones, todos ellos totalizan inversiones por 8,365 millones.

Este grupo forma parte de la lista de proyectos priorizados para los próximos 12 meses, según indicó el viceministro de minas, viceministro de Minas, Jaime Gálvez.

“Minas Justa es la que ha avanzado mejor en la pandemia y está próxima a terminar su construcción”, afirmó.

“Quellaveco se ha retrasado un poco pero esperamos que recupere en los próximos meses el ritmo que tenía antes de la pandemia. En el caso de la ampliación de Toromocho se requiere que termine la aprobación de la modificación del Estudio de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) para que se complete la segunda parte del proyecto de ampliación”, agregó.

Así lo señaló durante su participación en el foro Jueves Minero organizado por el Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas del Perú (IIMP) que abordó el tema: Impulso a la inversión minera e integración con la industria.


Proyectos con posibilidad de iniciarse

Por otra parte, los proyectos con posibilidad de iniciar su construcción en los siguientes meses son: Yanacocha Sulfuros en Cajamarca (2,100 millones de dólares), Corani en Puno (579 millones) y San Gabriel en Moquegua (431 millones), los cuales suman una inversión total de 3,110 millones.

“Los proyectos que podrán salir en los próximos meses, y que serán buenas noticias para el Perú, son Yanacocha Sulfuros, que ya tiene todos sus permisos aprobados y solamente está a la espera de la decisión del directorio de Newmont para que pueda salir muy probablemente a principios del próximo año”, explicó el viceministro Gálvez.

En el caso del proyecto San Gabriel indicó que se encuentra “muy avanzado” y solo le falta concluir la consulta previa, que se espera sea antes que acabe este año y estaría listo para empezar a construirse en el 2021.

Otro proyecto que estaría listo, indicó, sería Corani, el cual está próximo a cerrar su financiamiento en las próximas semanas, gracias a la recuperación del precio de la plata en el mercado internacional

Más proyectos

Otro conjunto de proyectos que podrían empezar a construirse en el 2021 y 2022 son Magistral en Áncash (480 millones de dólares), Ampliación Shouxin en Ica (140 millones), Los Chancas en Apurímac (2,800 millones).

También están Pampa de Pongo en Arequipa (2,200 millones de dólares), Optimización Inmaculada en Ayacucho (136 millones) e Integración Coroccohuayco en Cusco (590 millones). Este último grupo suma una inversión de 6,346 millones de dólares.

El viceministro Gálvez refirió que el proyecto Pampa de Pongo tiene todos sus permisos hace varios años, pero aún no ha podido cerrar su financiamiento.

“Ahora hay mejores precios del hierro y esto podría darle un impulso al proyecto en los próximos meses”, subrayó.

“Los Chancas es un proyecto muy interesante en Apurímac, que Southern está avanzando muy bien, está dando pasos importantes y el año que viene probablemente presente su Estudio de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) y pueda avanzar con este proyecto”, agregó.

Este conjunto de 13 proyectos mineros, en construcción y próximos a empezar a construirse, representa una inversión de 17,821 millones de dólares.


Impulso a la recuperación

Por su parte, el presidente del Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas del Perú (IIMP),Víctor Gobitz, destacó que estos proyectos pueden dar el impulso a la economía peruana para lograr una recuperación más rápida del impacto de la pandemia del coronavirus, aprovechando el mejor precio de los metales en el mercado internacional.

A su turno, el presidente de la Sociedad Nacional de Industrias, Ricardo Márquez, señaló que la minería ofrece al país más que divisas, pues también posibilita generar “trabajo rápido” y hay 400 empresas de metalmecánica que son proveedoras del sector minero.

Finalmente, el viceministro Gálvez también destacó la importancia en continuar articulando la industria nacional con la actividad minera para la generación de más empleo, asimismo enfatizó la necesidad de generar un clima de paz social.

“Para que el desarrollo minero pueda avanzar en el futuro, con más estabilidad y sostenibilidad, necesitamos generar un clima de paz social y diálogo para que los proyectos mineros salgan y el país aproveche mejor los frutos de la inversión minera”, afirmó.
