▸ Strong US eco­nomic data damps hopes for exten­ded series of rate cuts from Fed

▸ S&P 500 and Nas­daq trend lower while Treas­ury yields rise on robust fig­ures

▸ Gilt yields also rise after down­beat com­ments from BoE rate-set­ter on cuts

US stocks slipped and gov­ern­ment bond yields rose yes­ter­day after robust eco­nomic data cast doubt on investors' expect­a­tions for a series of interest rate cuts by the Fed­eral Reserve.

Revised fig­ures for US second-quarter growth showed that the world's biggest eco­nomy grew more strongly than pre­vi­ously estim­ated, with GDP increas­ing at an annu­al­ised rate of 3.8 per cent in the three months to the end of June com­pared with an earlier estim­ate of 3.3 per cent.

Con­sumer spend­ing was also revised higher, grow­ing at an annu­al­ised rate of 2.5 per cent from 1.6 per cent pre­vi­ously. In addi­tion, the num­ber of ini­tial job­less claims data for the US was lower than ana­lysts had expec­ted.
