• S&P 500, Nasdaq snap longest winning streak in 2 years after Powell's remarks

  Stocks ended lower Thursday, with the S&P 500 SPX snapping an eight-day winning streak and the Nasdaq Composite COMP breaking a nine-day run of gains after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that further rate hikes may be needed to rein in inflation. Also, a poorly received auction of 30-year Treasury bonds helped sour sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA dropped around 220 points, or 0.6%, to finish near 33,892. The S&P 500 fell 0.8% and the Nasdaq shed 0.9%. The winning streaks were the longest for both indexes in two years.

• Energy Sector Commentary for Thursday
  Energy stocks are set to rebound...

  Energy stocks are set to rebound from recent weakness as some stabilization in oil and natural gas prices lends support, as does higher broader index futures.  The final stages of earnings season are wrapping up, with a handful of earnings across E&Ps and Canadian integrated companies, while investors will continue to monitor FOMC commentary on the state of the economy and interest rates.

  
  

  The Brent crude oil benchmark hovered above $80 a barrel on Thursday, with demand concerns and a waning war-risk premium having triggered a selloff over the past week. The uptick comes after both benchmarks dropped to their lowest since mid-July on Wednesday as worry over possible supply disruptions in the Middle East eased and concern over U.S. and Chinese demand intensified. Brent is nearly $20 a barrel lower than its September peak. "It might be that this near-oversold status is causing a hiatus in selling this morning," said John Evans of oil broker PVM, adding that there was little positive news overnight and that the week's earlier losses reduced the impact of the latest Chinese data.

  
  

  Natural gas futures are higher by nearly 1% on sympathy buying crude and oversold technicals.  Inventory data will be skipped this week as the EIA upgrades its systems.  Data will resume next week.
