🔹𝟱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝟭🔹 𝟏. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐲 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 Wall Street saw its fourth day of gains on Wednesday with the S&P 500 ending the day 0.4% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.11% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.54% as Salesforce shares jumped after reporting an earnings beat and optimistic forecast. Those gains helped the major averages trim their losses for the month of August, which had been looking like it would live up to its dismal reputation for stocks. Now, the Dow and S&P 500 are each down by more than 1% in August, while the Nasdaq is lower by over 2%. 𝟐. 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐃𝐏 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐃𝐏 ADP reported on Wednesday that U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in August. The firm said private employers added 177,000 jobs this month, fewer than the 200,000 economists surveyed by Dow Jones predicted and well below the revised total of 371,000 added in July. Those numbers come ahead of the Department of Labor’s jobs report, which is due Friday. Also on Wednesday, U.S. economic growth was revised lower. Gross domestic product increased at a 2.1% annualized rate last quarter, the government said in its second estimate of GDP for the April-June period. While still solid, that was revised down from the 2.4% pace reported last month. 𝟑. 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 Walmart is looking for ways to close the wide gap with rival Amazon. The retail giant on Wednesday announced new efforts to attract and retain sellers with its third-party marketplace as it kicked off its inaugural Walmart Marketplace Seller Summit. The summit is a two-day invitation-only event featuring how-to sessions. As part of its increased focus on the marketplace, Walmart said it is expanding the third-party business to Chile, the first market outside of North America; offering an option that allows sellers to pay Walmart to fulfill online orders of bigger and bulkier items; and increasing the number of brand shops on its website. 𝟒. 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬 Shares of Swiss bank UBS reached their highest level since 2008 in early trading Thursday after the company reported a second-quarter profit of $28.88 billion. Analysts expected a net profit of $12.8 billion, according to a Reuters poll. It was UBS’ first quarterly earnings report since completing its takeover of stricken rival Credit Suisse, which the bank said played a role in its profit beat. UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, also said it continues to work on integrating Credit Suisse into the business and announced thousands of layoffs will occur as a result. 𝟓. 𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 The Oracle of Omaha celebrated his 93rd birthday Wednesday and CNBC’s Yun Li reports he’s doing better than ever when it comes to business. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate is the biggest non-tech company by market capitalization and its shares have hit an all-time high. Buffett was active over the past year, traveling to Japan for the first time in more than 11 years and buying underappreciated Japanese stocks. He was also one of the few investors who managed to take advantage of higher rates, that’s in part due to Berkshire’s mountain of cash, which was valued at $147 billion at the end of June.
