  • Wall Street stocks declined Thursday following disappointing US labor data and Walmart results as key players in the GameStop trading upheaval defended their actions at a Capitol Hill hearing. New US jobless claims -- which have been elevated for months due to the coronavirus pandemic -- rose 13,000 in the week ended February 13, to 861,000. Walmart dropped 6.4 percent after the retail giant reported a disappointing quarterly loss and announced higher capital spending in the coming year that will pinch profits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 0.4 percent to 31,493.34. The broad-based S&P 500 shed 0.4 percent to 3,913.97, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.7 percent to 13,865.36. The losses came as Robinhood co-founder and chief executive Vlad Tenev defended the trading site's handling of the GameStop frenzy last month. "I am not trying to throw anyone under the bus," Tenev said as he was barraged with questions during a virtual hearing held in online video format. "All I can say is Robinhood played it by the books." Gabriel Plotkin, founder and chief investment officer at Melvin Capital Management, said in his testimony that the fund did not manipulate trading. Investors remain optimistic that Washington will soon approve more stimulus spending, but they are unsure if President Joe Biden will succeed in winning passage of the entire $1.9 trillion package. Analysts also pointed to unease about high equity valuations and rising yields on US Treasury bonds in anticipation of higher inflation. In other releases, new home construction projects fell in January for the first time in five months, although building permits increased during the month. jmb/st
