US stock markets opened mixed from the start on Tuesday after trailing two straight days of gains, but after the jobs number fell slightly in the trading day, the three major indices gained more momentum. This is what it looked like an hour after opening

  • The broad S&P 500 rose 1.1%.
  • The industrial-heavy Dow Jones rose 0.6 percent.
  • The Nasdaq Composite Technology Index rose 1.6 percent.

Although the S&P 500 entered its third day of gains, it fell nearly 3% in August, which is now set to be the index’s worst month of the year.

Consumer confidence figures were also released on Tuesday afternoon. The index came in at 106.1 in August, somewhat below expectations of 116.0.

New banking procedures

On Tuesday, US authorities proposed another measure to reduce systemic risks in the banking sector. The measures followed the banking turmoil that marked the market earlier this year, in which several regional banks collapsed on the stock exchange following the collapse of the Silicon Valley bank.
