U.S stocks fall on Fed comments, firming dollar; Dow slips 0.15%

Investors sold stocks on Thursday, taking profits in wake of several days of gains after better-than-expected jobless claims and hawkish comments from a Federal Reserve governor sparked demand for the safe-haven dollar.

At the close of U.S. trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 0.15%, the S&P 500 index fell 0.37%, while the Nasdaq Composite index fell 0.12%.

The dollar served as the asset of choice for many investors on Thursday.

The Department of Labor reported earlier that the number of individuals filing for initial jobless claims in the U.S. last week fell by 4,000 to 323,000, defying expectations for an increase of 8,000 to 335,000.

The news sparked demand for the dollar by fueling sentiments the Fed may closer to winding down dollar-weakening stimulus programs, especially a monthly USD85 billion bond-buying program known as quantitative easing.

The dollar also gained after Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser told Bloomberg that he would like to see the asset-purchasing program slow down, which gave the dollar further support at the expense of equities.

Quantitative easing tends to send stock prices rising as a side effect.

Leading Dow Jones Industrial Average performers included 3M, up 1.57%, DuPont, up 1.22%, and Merck, up 1.07%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average's worst performers included JPMorgan Chase, down 1.47%, AT&T, down 1.35%, and McDonald's, down 1.29%.

European indices, meanwhile, finished mixed.

After the close of European trade, the EURO STOXX 50 fell 0.41%, France's CAC 40 fell 0.70%, while Germany's DAX 30 finished up 0.16%. Meanwhile, in the U.K. the FTSE 100 finished up 0.14%. 

On Friday, the U.S. is to report its latest data on the federal budget balance.

Also Friday, finance ministers and central bank heads from the Group of Seven nations are to hold the first day of a two day summit meeting.

Forex - GBP/USD drops on U.S. jobless claims, BoE decision

The pair was likely to find support at 1.5448, Tuesday's low, and resistance at 1.5592, Wednesday's high.

The Department of Labor reported earlier that the number of individuals filing for initial jobless claims in the U.S. last week fell by 4,000 to 323,000, defying expectations for an increase of 8,000 to 335,000.

The news sparked demand for the dollar by fueling sentiments the Federal Reserve may closer to winding down stimulus programs.

Stimulus tools, such as the Fed's monthly USD85 billion bond-buying program, weaken the greenback to spur recovery. 

Meanwhile in the U.K., the Bank of England left interest rates unchanged at a record low 0.5% and maintained the size of its asset purchase program at GBP375 billion.

Industrial output figures out of the U.K. curbed the pound's losses.

The Office for National Statistics said industrial production in the U.K. rose 0.7% in March, beating expectations for a 0.2% increase, after rising by a downwardly revised 0.9% in February.

Industrial output contracted by 1.4% compared to a year earlier, though the figure was better than expectations for a 2% contraction, mainly as unseasonably cold winter weather boosted electricity demand.

The ONS said U.K. manufacturing production rose by 1.1% in March, beating expectations for a 0.3% increase.

The pound, meanwhile, was up against the euro and up against the yen, with EUR/GBP trading down 0.25% at 0.8446 and GBP/JPY up 1.04% at 155.40.

On Friday, the U.K. is to release government data on the trade balance, while the U.S. is to report its latest data on the federal budget balance.

Forex - Dollar gains on improving jobless claims data

The U.S. dollar firmed against most major currencies on Thursday after official data revealed far less individuals filed for unemployment assistance last week than expected.

The report allayed fears that the U.S. economy may be hitting a soft patch and prompt the Federal Reserve to keep monetary stimulus programs in place for longer.

Stimulus tools, such as the Fed's monthly USD85 billion bond-buying program, weaken the greenback to spur recovery. 

In U.S. trading on Thursday, EUR/USD was down 0.94% at 1.3030.

The Department of Labor reported earlier that the number of individuals filing for initial jobless claims in the U.S. last week fell by 4,000 to 323,000, defying expectations for an increase of 8,000 to 335,000.

Last week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that U.S. economy added 165,000 nonfarm payrolls in April, up from 138,000 in March, whose figure was revised up from 88,000.

April's figures far outpaced analysts' forecasts for a 145,000 figure.

Falling stock prices also bolstered the dollar's appeal.

The greenback, meanwhile, was up against the pound, with GBP/USDtrading down 0.63% at 1.5438.

In the U.K., the Bank of England left interest rates unchanged at a record low 0.5% and maintained the size of its asset purchase program at GBP375 billion.

Industrial output figures out of the U.K. curbed the pound's losses.

The Office for National Statistics said industrial production in the U.K. rose 0.7% in March, beating expectations for a 0.2% increase, after rising by a downwardly revised 0.9% in February.

Industrial output contracted by 1.4% compared to a year earlier, though the figure was better than expectations for a 2% contraction, mainly as unseasonably cold winter weather boosted electricity demand.

The ONS said U.K. manufacturing production rose by 1.1% in March, beating expectations for a 0.3% increase.

The dollar was up against the yen, with USD/JPY up 1.60% at 100.58, and up against the Swiss franc, with USD/CHF trading up 1.40% at 0.9486.

The dollar was up against its cousins in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with USD/CAD up 0.56% at 1.0090, AUD/USD down 1.19% at 1.0050 and NZD/USD trading down 0.53% at 0.8358.
