Market Overview - On August 4, the New York stock market saw significant rebounds across all three major indices, recovering losses from the previous trading day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 585.06 points to close at 44,173.64, a gain of 1.34%. The S&P 500 increased by 91.93 points to 6,329.94, up 1.47%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 403.45 points to 21,053.58, marking a 1.95% increase [1].

The Energy sector, however, saw a decline of 0.44% [1]. Economic Data and Investor Sentiment - Analysts noted that the market's strength was partly due to investors buying on dips following a sell-off on August 1. There is a prevailing belief that weak employment data may prompt the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, which would be favorable for the stock market [1]. - Chris Senyek from Wolff Research expressed concerns that the weakening economic data might indicate that the Federal Reserve is lagging behind the situation, with inflation from tariffs also posing a challenge. He suggested that the market is entering a phase where "bad news is bad news," meaning that negative economic indicators could exert more pressure than the positive sentiment from potential rate cuts [2]. Company-Specific Insights - Berkshire Hathaway reported a second-quarter operating profit of $11.16 billion, a 4% year-over-year decline. The company has sold stocks for the 11th consecutive quarter, offloading $4.5 billion worth of stocks in the first half of the year without any stock buybacks. Following this news, Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares fell by 2.92% on August 4 [3].
