▸ US stocks slide and dol­lar rises ahead of Wyom­ing cent­ral bankers’ sum­mit

▸ Brent crude price ticks up as traders watch for Ukraine peace talks pro­gress

▸ European stocks show muted increase with FTSE 100 up 0.2%

US stocks slipped from near-record highs and the dol­lar rose yes­ter­day as traders looked ahead to this week's cent­ral bankers' sym­posium in Jack­son Hole.

The blue-chip S&P 500 and the tech­heavy Nas­daq Com­pos­ite were both down 0.1 per cent by lunch­time in New York. The dol­lar, down about 10 per cent this year against a bas­ket of six other major cur­ren­cies, was up 0.3 per cent.

The moves come as investors pre­pare for Thursday's annual cent­ral bank­ing con­fer­ence in Wyom­ing, where Fed­eral Reserve chair Jay Pow­ell will arrive under pres­sure from Pres­id­ent Don­ald Trump to slash US interest rates in Septem­ber.

Weak labour mar­ket data released earlier this month and a rel­at­ively benign infla­tion report last week have encour­aged traders to increase their bets that the Fed will lower bor­row­ing costs by a quarter-point next month. Trump has repeatedly admon­ished Pow­ell for being “too late” on rate cuts.
