Shares of young adult apparel retailer American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) jumped 6.3% in the afternoon session after continued positive sentiment after President Donald Trump praised the company's recent advertising campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. The gain built upon a massive surge on August 4th, when the stock jumped over 23% for its biggest one-day leap since 2000. That initial spike followed a social media post where Trump called the ad the 'HOTTEST ad out there,' pushing the stock into meme territory. While the endorsement created significant market interest, some reports cautioned that the rally was driven by hype rather than the company's underlying financial health, which they described as having weak margins.
American Eagle Outfitters Inc (NYSE: AEO) shares are trading lower on Tuesday, pulling back from a sharp surge higher to start the week. Here's a look at what's going on.
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after markets rebounded following a sharp sell-off in the previous trading session as a weaker-than-expected July jobs report fueled investor hopes for a potential interest rate cut. The U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, falling well short of the 110,000 expected by economists. This disappointing data has led to a dramatic shift in market sentiment regarding the Federal Reserve's next move. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a September interest rate cut has surged from around 40% to over 80%. Lower interest rates generally stimulate the economy by making borrowing cheaper for consumers. This can lead to increased spending on discretionary items, such as apparel and home goods, which directly benefits consumer retail companies. The prospect of more accommodative monetary policy is therefore boosting investor confidence in the sector's outlook.

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session as the broader market tumbled in the morning session after a surprisingly weak U.S. jobs report and the announcement of new, widespread tariffs on imported goods. The U.S. economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, falling far short of the 109,000 forecast. Compounding the issue, job gains for May and June were revised down by a combined 258,000, signaling what some see as “increasing signs of fragility” in the labor market. Simultaneously, the White House announced new tariffs, ranging from 10% to 41%, on goods from 92 countries. This “double whammy” of negative news has intensified fears that ongoing trade wars are damaging the U.S. economy. The combination of a weaker labor market and new trade barriers has rattled investor confidence, fueling expectations that the Federal Reserve may be forced to cut interest rates to support the economy.
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after reports pointed to a broad-based weakening of consumer health, highlighted by rising loan delinquencies and falling spending intentions.
