Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) closed up more than +7% to lead gainers in the Dow Jones Industrials after announcing a $1 billion cost-cutting program and reducing its capital expenditures by about $600 million. Adobe (ADBE) closed up more than +1%, adding to Wednesday’s +3% gain, on a positive response to its release of new features for generative AI models at the Max conference in Los Angeles. T-notes erased overnight gains and turned lower on Thursday’s stronger-than-expected U.S. Sep CPI and weekly jobless claims reports, which are hawkish for Fed policy.
