Consumer Cos Down on Tepid Jobs Data -- Consumer Roundup

Dow Jones

Aug 02, 2025

Consumer discretionary stocks fell after tepid jobs data.

Consumer spending has proved resilient despite more than three years of elevated inflation.

Some retailers and consumer-products companies, such as Procter & Gamble, warned in their latest updates that shoppers are exhibiting more caution.

A rising unemployment rate could be the last straw for the consumer-led economic expansion.

Shares of Rolex producer Watches of Switzerland fell by 7% after President Trump imposed tariffs of 39% on Swiss imports.
