Local stocks bounce back, brush aside US ratings downgrade

Stocks bounced back Thursday after Wednesday’s sell-off as bargain hunters cautiously picked up shares with promising earnings.

Colet said investors also took advantage of the recent sell-off to buy shares that reported or were expected to report positive first-half results. The ratings agency’s decision to lower Washington’s gold-plated AAA classification rattled markets, fueling a race out of riskier assets, though analysts said there was unlikely to be much long-term impact from the move.

That jolted optimism that the Fed might have announced its last rate hike in July, as a string of recent reports showed inflation continuing to fall and parts of the economy appearing to slow.
