Stocks tumbled from record highs on Friday as data revealed the US labor market is not on as solid footing as previously thought.

On the week, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell nearly 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slid 2.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) shed 1.2%.

Markets will be greeted with a quieter week of economic news with no major releases anticipated.

Meanwhile, another busy week of corporate releases is set to greet investors with 122 S&P 500 companies set to report, led by Palantir (PLTR), Eli Lilly (LLY), and Disney (DIS).

A September shift

Markets exited Wednesday's Federal Reserve press conference leaning toward no interest rate cuts in the near future. That narrative flipped on its head on Friday morning.

The latest monthly jobs report showed the US labor market added fewer jobs than expected in July while the unemployment rate moved higher, and revisions to prior months' numbers revealed significantly fewer jobs had been added than initially thought.

In its release, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said downward revisions to the May and June jobs reports "were larger than normal," with those changes showing more than a quarter million fewer jobs were added to the economy over those months. May's job gains were revised down to 19,000 from 144,000, while June's additions were cut to just 14,000 from the 147,000 initially reported.

The White House economic advisers on Sunday defended President Trump's decision to fire the BLS chief, rejecting concerns that the move could erode trust in official US economic figures.

Market pricing and economists argue Friday's report was likely a game changer for the overall economic narrative and how the Fed will move forward. Following Friday's jobs report, the probability of a September interest rate cut from the Fed surged to 83%, up from just 38% the day prior, per the CME FedWatch Tool.

"Our base case since January has been that the Fed won't cut rates this year," Bank of America Securities US economist Shruti Mishra wrote in a note to clients. "However, we have been arguing that the most likely alternate scenario is that labor market deterioration will force the Fed into 'bad cuts', which could play out at a pace of at least 25bp per meeting. The massive downward revision to payrolls in the July jobs report increases the probability of this scenario."

The July jobs report showed the US economy may be slowing more than initially thought, sparking a Friday market sell-off.

"Ultimately, stocks do better in a stronger economy than one that requires the intervention from the Fed," Interactive Brokers chief strategist Steve Sosnick told Yahoo Finance.

The economic growth concerns clouded what had been a positive week for the market, as Big Tech earnings revealed AI investment is not stopping anytime soon. In a note to clients on Friday, Capital Economics senior market economist James Reilly wrote that Friday's market sell-off is likely "overdone," as AI will remain the "key driver" of global equities.

"These major US 'hyperscalers' are collectively continuing to invest heavily," Reilly wrote while pointing out Big Tech has recently outperformed the broader market following earnings reports. "That's one reason why we are positive on the outlook for the tech-heavy segments of the stock market, and on the outlook for US stocks as a whole."

Earnings volatility

After about two-thirds of the S&P 500 have reported earnings, the index is pacing for earnings growth of 10.3%, up from the 5% expected on June 27, per FactSet data.

Largely, the market has floated higher amid the slew of earnings releases. But under the surface, there have been significant stock moves off individual reports. In just the past week, Meta (META) stock rose more than 12% after topping estimates for both revenue and earnings per share. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk (NVO) stock tanked 20% after cutting its full-year sales outlook. Julian Emanuel, who leads the equity, derivatives, and quantitative strategy team at Evercore ISI, noted that stocks are moving more than average in the day following releases, regardless of whether or not they beat or miss Wall Street's expectations.

For example, the average S&P 500 stock that misses estimates for both sales and earnings per share is seeing a 4.9% decline on the next trading day, a steeper decline than the average of 3.2% seen over the past five years.

With the market trading near record highs, Emanuel noted investors are "agitated by anything short of perfect" this corporate earnings season.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of not wanting a ceasefire deal and requested that the International Red Cross bring food and medical care to hostages held in Gaza, after public fury ignited over propaganda videos showing two emaciated Israeli captives.

Tens of thousands of protestors joined a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening – some holding placards reading "Stop the war" and "Leave no one behind" – as they called for Netanyahu to strike a deal that would free the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza.

Videos released by the militant groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad last week showed hostages Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski in a visibly fragile state – images that galvanized a forceful reaction both at home and abroad.

On Sunday, the International Red Cross (ICRC) in Israel and the Occupied Territories said that it was "appalled" by the videos and urged that the "dire situation must come to an end."

Several world leaders also condemned the videos of the Israel hostages, with French President Emmanuel Macron describing them as "unbearable" and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz saying the images "show that Hamas should have no role in Gaza's future."

Netanyahu's office said on Sunday that the prime minister spoke with Julien Lerisson, the head of the Red Cross delegation in the region, to request "his involvement in the immediate provision of food and medical care for the hostages."

The office also repeated Netanyahu's denial that starvation was rife in the enclave, despite a UN-backed food security agency's warning this week that "the worst-case scenario of famine" is unfolding in Gaza.

Hamas has said it is prepared to "deal positively" with any Red Cross request to deliver food and medicine to hostages, but only on the condition that humanitarian corridors are opened up in Gaza.

The militant group claims that the hostages' emaciated state is a reflection of worsening conditions in the strip. However, other hostages who have been freed in the past have similarly appeared gaunt and frail at the time of their release and described malnourishment while in captivity.

Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas' military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, said this weekend that the group does not intentionally starve the hostages, and that they eat the same food that Hamas fighters and the general Gaza population eat. "They will not receive any special privileges amid the crime of starvation and siege," he added.

A member of Hamas' political bureau, Izzat Al-Rashiq, described the images as "the definitive response to all who deny the existence of famine in Gaza."

Malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza spiked in July, the latest sign of a worsening hunger crisis, the World Health Organization warned last week. The agency said the enclave's malnutrition rates reached "alarming levels," with over 5,000 children under five admitted for outpatient treatment of malnutrition in just the first two weeks of July.

Gazans also face lethal danger when attempting to collect aid from distribution sites, where violent clashes can erupt. On Sunday, a shooting incident near an aid site in northern Gaza killed at least 13 people and left dozens wounded, according to the Emergency and Medical Services in Gaza.

Allowing Red Cross access would be a shift for Hamas, which has previously opposed any access to the hostages by the humanitarian group. The ICRC, which has only facilitated previous releases of hostages throughout the war, said in March that it was "hugely disappointing" to have not yet been able to visit any hostages so far, emphasizing that it was not for lack of trying.

Stalled ceasefire talks

Recent ceasefire talks have borne little fruit, with Israeli and US negotiators recalled from negotiations last month. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff at the time blamed Hamas for poor coordination and "lack of desire to reach a ceasefire," saying the US would consider "alternative options."

On Sunday, Netanyahu cited the latest images of Hamas captives as evidence of bad faith. "When I see this, I understand exactly what Hamas wants. They don't want a deal. They want to break us with these horrifying videos, with the false horror propaganda they're spreading around the world," he said.

The Israeli leader is now "pushing for the freeing of the hostages through military defeat (of Hamas)," one Israeli official told CNN on Sunday – a route that the hostages' families have repeatedly warned against.

"We are in discussions with the Americans. There is a growing understanding that Hamas is not interested in a deal," the official said, adding that Netanyahu wants to combine the freeing of the hostages "with the entry of humanitarian aid into areas outside the combat zones and, as much as possible, into areas not under Hamas control."

As Israel's war in Gaza grinds on, it has faced increasing resistance from the Israeli public, whose frustration over the fates of the remaining hostages has intensified.

According to polling released by the Israel Democracy Institute during a ceasefire period in March, over 70% of Israelis supported negotiating with Hamas for an end to the fighting and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for the release of the remaining hostages. Fifty hostages remain in Gaza, at least 20 of whom are believed to be alive.

The hostages' families have repeatedly urged Netanyahu to strike a deal, warning that Red Cross assistance alone will not be enough, and that further expansion of the fighting in Gaza could endanger the remaining hostages' lives.

"Netanyahu is preparing the greatest deception of all. The repeated claims of freeing hostages through military victory are a lie and a public fraud," Israel's Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a statement on Sunday.

The group also condemned Hamas, saying it "cannot hide the fact that we are dealing with an evil terrorist organization that has been holding innocent people in impossible conditions for over 660 days."

Hamas publicly insists that it remains committed to hostage release talks – but only if conditions in Gaza improve first. The group recently stopped engaging in any discussions regarding a ceasefire or the release of hostages, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN last week.

"It is essential to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation significantly and to obtain a written response from the enemy regarding our response," Basem Naim, a senior Hamas political official, also told CNN.

"This is a condition to go back to negotiations."

Whale dies, passenger goes overboard after boat collision off Jersey Shore

LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J. – A 20-foot minke whale died Saturday, Aug. 2, in Barnegat Bay after being struck by a boat, which nearly capsized and forced a passenger overboard, according to officials.

The whale was first spotted at the bay inlet at 2:45 p.m., according to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC), which received a call from New Jersey State Police.

Rescue crews responded with the U.S. Coast Guard seeking a way to guide the whale out of the bay, MMSC reported on social media.

But before they could, the whale was struck by a vessel at 3:40 p.m. and was reported dead by officials hours later.

Video captured by a witness shows the whale swimming under a motorboat; the vessel tips to the side and a person can be seen falling into the water. Another person yells, "Cut the motor off!"

MMSC staff arrived on a NJ Fish and Wildlife Conservation Officers boat to "assess the whale, which was now resting on a sandbar in very shallow water outside of the channel," officials said on Facebook.

"They were able to approach within 30 yards of the whale, but due to the tidal conditions they could not safely access the sandbar for further direct examination."

The whale will be towed to a nearby state park for a necropsy on Monday, when appropriate equipment is available, officials said. Additionally, officials said, the tide cycle has to be proper for easier movement.

"The necropsy will follow, and will likely take several hours to complete," the MMSC statement added.

No information has been released on the identity of the boaters or further investigation.

It’s been a month since the deadly Texas floods. Survivors are grappling with trauma – and still waiting on financial help

It's been a month since the deadly Texas floods. Survivors are grappling with trauma – and still waiting on financial help Alaa Elassar, CNNAugust 4, 2025 at 4:00 PM Betty Matteson prays with volunteers who are helping to repair and rebuild her home.

Nine-year-old Cole Morris cowered in between his grandfather and seven of their family members, whispering prayers as rising floodwaters lapped furiously at the stairs of their attic.

"Are we going to die?" Cole asked his grandpa, his brown eyes wide with panic.

Barry Adelman thought they might. But he swallowed the truth, forced a smile, and hugged his grandson tightly.

"I told him that we were going to be just fine," Adelman told CNN. "I was scared to death, but I wasn't going to put fear in our grandson."

If the water had risen higher, it's likely his family wouldn't have survived, he said. At least 135 people, including more than 35 children, were killed in the catastrophic Central Texas flooding on July 4 that ravaged the region, including campsites filled with sleeping children.

Since that harrowing night, Adelman has felt haunted.

He's grappling with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, he says, compounded by the emotional toll of watching his family attempt to rebuild his grandmother's home — where, since 1968, four children, nine grandchildren, and countless great-grandchildren have gathered joyfully.

He can't stop replaying the image of body bags being pulled out of rescue helicopters, or the expression on a woman's face as she clung to a tree 25 feet above the ground – alive, but having lost her husband and two children.

unknown content item

By morning, when floodwaters receded, Adelman's home was destroyed and their family's yard littered with over 40 vehicles. A 5-year-old's body was found on their property. Dozens of survivors clung to trees around them, stranded and separated from loved ones carried off by the river.

"The look of loss on their faces was really penetrating," Adelman said. "I'll never forget that look."

As he struggles with the lingering trauma – the screams for help, the near-drowning – he and his family are also navigating the financial fallout of an unexpected natural disaster, having lost their matriarch's home and six of the family's vehicles.

One month after the Texas floods, some survivors are sounding the alarm, pleading for help they say still hasn't arrived. Others are emerging from the nightmare with the support of a community rallying to clean up the devastation on their own.

It's a long and uncertain road, burdened by complex insurance claims, government red tape, and financial strain. It's also a psychological struggle – a quiet battle with the pain that stubbornly lingers for survivors after witnessing death and coming dangerously close to it.

"It just feels surreal, almost like I'm not supposed to be here," Adelman said. "Like I was in a murder scene and it was trying to get me, and now I'm suddenly dropped back into the real world."

'We need financial help and are not getting it'

For many survivors who lost their homes, it remains unclear how much support they'll receive from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other government programs. Even if help comes, it won't be quick.

The average FEMA home repair payment for the flooding disaster is about $8,000, Madison Sloan, the director of the Disaster Recovery and Fair Housing Project at Texas Appleseed, told CNN, according to her analysis of FEMA's most recent public data.

This figure can be much higher or lower depending on the level of loss. But no matter the figure, it's unlikely it will be enough.

"FEMA assistance is not intended to fully repair the home, it's intended to repair it so the home is safe to live in," Sloan said. "FEMA assistance can be hard to access and FEMA routinely sends denial letters. If you've just been through a disaster and you get a denial letter, that's a huge burden."

"The system is not set up as a safety net," she added. "It's set up to fill gaps in insurance and for people who can't afford or don't have certain kinds of insurance, there is not much there for them, besides private donations."

Adelman's 94-year-old grandmother, Betty Matteson, didn't have flood insurance because it was "nearly impossible to afford," according to Shannon Swindle, Matteson's granddaughter and Adelman's sister.

A week after the flood, Matteson was interviewed and assigned a case number by FEMA at an emergency disaster recovery center, where other charities were also on hand to help survivors apply for assistance, Swindle said.

"(My grandmother was told) the highest amount she could get for her house would be $43,600, but also would get more for personal items lost and also money for temporary housing, if approved," Swindle told CNN.

FEMA assistance is capped at $43,600, according to Sloan, but few families ever receive the full amount.

The family was told it could take weeks to get a response and initial denials aren't uncommon as FEMA requests more information.

Flood survivor Bud Bolton, a resident of Hunt, Texas, says the aid has been painfully slow, and in some cases, nonexistent.

"The state and county are helping us none," Bolton told CNN. "I know people that lost their homes and sleeping in their cars still because they are not getting any of the funding. We don't need toilet paper, bottled water, and few necessities and gift cards. We need financial help and are not getting it."

Homeowners and renters in 10 counties are eligible to apply for federal disaster assistance if they were affected by last month's flooding. This includes survivors with losses in those counties, even if they do not live in those counties or in Texas, according to FEMA.

The State of Texas and the US Small Business Administration may also be able to help with serious disaster-related needs, temporary lodging, basic home repair costs, personal property loss and disaster loans, FEMA said.

FEMA has not responded to CNN's request for comment.

Survivors can also request public assistance through the Texas Division of Emergency Management, the American Red Cross, 211 Texas, and local charity organizations.

Communities taking care of their own

As Adelman and Swindle's family awaits FEMA's reply, they say they are receiving the most support from local and distant Texas communities that have stepped in.

"We need help. All kinds of help. Financial support, supplies, clean-up help, or even just sharing this story with others who might be able to give," Swindle wrote in a GoFundMe campaign for her grandmother that has so far raised more than $75,000. The estimated cost of repairing their family's home is $600,000.

Volunteers from Cypress Creek Church in Wimberley, Texas, learned about the family when a regular customer at Swindle's business submitted a prayer request at the church. Since then, a team of volunteers has visited the house three times a week to remove cabinets and bathtubs, clear areas where water had pooled and mold began to grow, and tear out the drywall.

The owners of the Full Moon Inn in nearby Luckenbach, Texas, also rallied a large team to assist with the cleaning process for a day.

"Without all of you, none of this would be possible," Swindle wrote in the GoFundMe campaign. "You have done more than offer money. You have given my grandmother hope."

Though the family is thankful for the help they've received, frustration and uncertainty weigh heavily on them as they await answers from the government.

"We want clear answers on when the electricity will be restored and how. There's a lot of information that is needed when faced with rebuilding and in many cases we can't move forward without that information and approval," Swindle said.

Their concern goes beyond their own struggles; they are troubled by the thought of other survivors who haven't been as fortunate in securing assistance or receiving donations that could mean the difference between recovery and despair.

Many people who lost their vehicles and only had liability insurance can't get to work, adding another layer of hardship. Meanwhile, people with disabilities are left without vital medical equipment, including walkers, wheelchairs, canes, and hearing aids.

Swindle believes the road to recovery will be long and difficult, with survivors left to shoulder much of the burden themselves.

"People move on. Volunteers go back to their daily normal lives, but the people affected are still knee-deep in it and will be for months and, in some cases, years to come."

Finding a way to live around the trauma

Keli Rabon's two sons, ages 7 and 9, survived the floods that devastated Camp La Junta, a Texas summer camp for boys. She says her younger son, Brock, now lives in a constant state of anxiety and needs mental health care.

"Today, my sons are physically safe, but for our family, the storm is not over," Rabon said during a committee hearing in Kerrville, Texas, on Thursday.

"Brock scans every room for higher ground. He checks the weather constantly. He battles nightmares of water dripping from the ceiling or his mattress being wet. His fear is so profound that he's now anxious about the tsunami in Hawaii. He lives with the terror that no child or any person should have to carry, but so many of us now do."

Brock's cabin flooded so severely that the children and counselors had to cling to the roof rafters to survive. Rabon noted since her family was only visiting Kerr County and has since returned home to Houston, they haven't been offered any mental health support — something she believes is a serious oversight.

"If you get to enjoy the fruits of tourism, but then don't support the tourists when a disaster happens, that just doesn't make sense to me," Rabon told CNN.

Adelman has returned to Hunt three times since the flood. During his first visit, he watched as cadaver dogs combed the riverside, searching for the remains of those still missing at the time, 27 of whom were children.

Seeing this triggered his first panic attack.

Adelman has not been offered mental health resources through the government but has seen a therapist twice on his own. Weeks have passed, yet he still fights tears when watching videos of his grandmother's neighbors in Hunt, painstakingly piecing their lives back together.

He struggles to return to work, hold simple conversations, or quiet the constant replay of every vivid detail from that night.

"Every day it gets a little bit better," Adelman said. "But I don't know if I will ever be the same."

Prison riot leaves 7 inmates dead, 11 injured in Mexico

Veracruz state security ministry

Seven inmates died amid unrest at a prison in the eastern Mexico state of Veracruz, authorities said Sunday, with 11 other prisoners suffering injuries.

The fighting first broke out Saturday afternoon at a facility in Tuxpan and continued throughout the night, officials said.

Veracruz state forces, along with military support, carried out a "coordinated operation" and were able to get into the prison by Sunday morning and regain control, said a statement from the state security ministry.

"As a result of the riot, we report the tragic deaths of seven inmates and 11 injured people," the statement said.

After the fight, three inmates were transferred to another prison in Veracruz, though authorities did not disclose specifics.

Local media reported that the prisoners started the riot after asking authorities to guarantee their safety when faced with threats from inmates who were accused of being part of a violent criminal group called Sombra.

Conflicts between cartels and other organized crime groups in Mexico are often replicated in prison populations, which struggle with overcrowding.

Last month, a prison riot in the northwestern state of Sinaloa left three inmates dead.

Politicians have also been targeted by violence in Veracruz in recent months. In May, a mayoral candidate and three of her supporters were shot dead at a campaign event in the state. Last December, a Mexican congressman who was a member of the ruling coalition was shot dead in Veracruz.

Lindsay Lohan says she has ‘PTSD to the extreme’ from paparazzi chases

Lindsay Lohan says she has 'PTSD to the extreme' from paparazzi chases Miu von FurstenbergAugust 4, 2025 at 8:30 PM Lindsay Lohan is speaking candidly about fame's enduring impact and how Hollywood continues to restrict her acting opportunities, despite her extensive career spanning decades.

Miu von FurstenbergAugust 4, 2025 at 8:30 PM

Lindsay Lohan is speaking candidly about fame's enduring impact and how Hollywood continues to restrict her acting opportunities, despite her extensive career spanning decades.

In a recent interview with The Times UK before the release of her upcoming film Freakier Friday, the sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday, the 39-year-old actress discussed fame's pressures, typecasting challenges, and her ultimate decision to leave Hollywood.

Lohan expressed ongoing frustration with landing diverse roles, noting her frequent typecasting despite demonstrating range. "Yeah, I do think I was pigeonholed," she said, mentioning that working alongside Meryl Streep in A Prairie Home Companion seemed like a breakthrough. "Which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this, but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance." She added, "I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no."

After stepping back from acting in 2008 to focus on personal matters, Lohan eventually relocated to Dubai in 2015, leaving Los Angeles behind. The move provided relief from constant paparazzi attention. "I don't ever want my family to experience being chased by the paparazzi the way I was. They were terrifying moments I had in my life—I have PTSD to the extreme from those things," she went on. "The most invasive situations. Really scary. And I pray stuff like that never comes back. It's not safe. It's not fair."

In a recent Bustle interview, Lohan reflected that negative media coverage during her early career overshadowed her professional achievements. "I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that's kind of annoying. I wish that part didn't happen," she said. "I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that's why I wanted to disappear. I was like, 'Unless there's no story here, they're not going to focus on just my work.'"

Beyond Freakier Friday, Lohan will star in and executive produce Count My Lies, an upcoming Hulu thriller where she portrays a manipulative nanny embroiled in secrets. She's also expressed keen interest in returning to character-driven classic films. "There are not many major movies I want to go and see that are like that — there's a gap and I'm craving to do work like that," she said.

Now married to Bader Shammas, whom she met in Dubai, and mother to son Luai, Lohan indicates she's entering a new chapter.

Kia America issued two recall notices within a week for more than 300,000 vehicles over loose parts near the doors and windows that can fall off and pose a potential hazard to other drivers.

The recalls affect 201,149 Telluride models from 2023 to 2025 over faulty door belt moldings and 100,063 K5 models from 2023 to 2025 over window trim detachment issues, according to two separate July 28 notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Detached trim pieces can create "a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash," NHTSA said in both notices.

The recalled Telluride models may experience loosening and eventual detachment of its door belt molding trims – the long, narrow strip located along the top edge of the vehicle's door where the glass window meets the metal frame of the door, according to NHTSA.

The K5 models recalled may also experience the same issue with its C-pillar garnish face plates – decorative panels located near the left and right rear windows, NHTSA said in the second notice.

Due to a supplier quality issue, the C-pillar garnish face plate and door belt molding face plate "may progressively delaminate and become loose from the base of the molding," Kia North America Safety Office said in additional notices posted on July 29.

"If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the face plate may eventually fall off," Kia added. "A face plate that detaches from the vehicle while in motion may create a road hazard for other road users, increasing the risk of a crash."

Owners can bring their vehicles to a Kia dealership for a free inspection and replacement of the C-pillar trim assemblies as well as the belt molding trim assemblies, NHTSA said in the notices.

"Dealers will replace the affected C-pillar garnish assembly(ies) not previously replaced under warranty with an improved one," NHTSA said. "Kia will reimburse owners for repair expenses already incurred pursuant to Kia's General Reimbursement Plan filed May 1, 2024."

Notification letters to vehicle owners of the K5 and Telluride models are expected to be mailed on Sep. 26, NHTSA said. For more information, owners may contact Kia customer service at 800-333-4542 and reference recall number SC346 for the K5 recall and SC347 for the Telluride recall, according to the agency.

Vehicle owners can check if their car is affected by visiting the NHTSA recall website, where they can search by make, model, license plate number, or Vehicle Identification Number.

NHTSA and Kia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX Business.
