Investing.com -- U.S. stocks were sinking on Thursday after hotter-than-expected data on jobs stoked new fears about interest rates.
Here are some of the biggest U.S. stock movers today:
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock dipped 0.3% after the Facebook owner launched Threads, a direct competitor to Twitter, on Wednesday, with the new service attracting 30 million users in a matter of hours.
Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) stock fell 3% after the lender announced that it is raising its quarterly dividend by just 9%.
Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) stock fell 2.6% and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock fell 2.4% as a trade war between Beijing and Washington over the ability to manufacture semiconductor chips escalates.
Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock fell 1.8% after Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, hit a 13-month high amid reports that fund managers are looking to create a U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund or ETF.
Affirm (NASDAQ:AFRM) stock fell 14.3% after Piper Sandler downgraded the fintech company to Underweight from Neutral, saying higher rates and wider credit spreads will pressure operating margins.
American Express (NYSE:AXP) stock fell 2.4% after Baird downgraded the credit card giant to Neutral from Outperform, ahead of its quarterly results later in July.
