Aug 9 (Reuters) -Wall Street's main indexes were set to clock weekly losses on Friday, capping off a tumultuous week where global markets were rattled by a sharp appreciation in the low-yielding yen and fears of a recession in the world's biggest economy.
Megacap and growth stocks were mixed, with Alphabet GOOGL.O down over 1% and Amazon.com AMZN.O was up 0.6%.
In the previous session, U.S. stocks had jumped after jobless claims last week fell more than expected, easing worries of a prolonged slowdown in the United States that were spurred after July's dour jobs data.
The CBOE Volatility Index .VIX, Wall Street's "fear gauge", stood at 24.07 points, far below the 65.73 at the start of the week, which witnessed a global stocks rout triggered by a surge in yen as a surprise rate hike by the Bank of Japan resulted in unwinding of currency carry trades.
But all major indexes were set for weekly losses, with both the S&P 500 .SPX and the Nasdaq .IXIC headed for a fourth straight week of fall.
"In general, we're still in this environment where the economy is slowing if not grinding to a halt, inflation is coming down, which is not suggestive at all of recession. We're still growing, just not as much," said Christopher Jackson, senior vice president at UBS Wealth Management.
Fed policymakers said on Thursday they were confident that inflation was cooling enough to allow interest-rate cuts ahead, and will take their cues on the size and timing of those cuts from the economic data.
Money markets are now evenly split between the Fed cutting rates by 50-basis points and 25-basis points in September, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.
Investors are now focusing on next week's readings on the consumer prices and retail sales for July, which could provide fresh evidence on chances of a soft landing for the American economy.
At 09:35 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 133.28 points, or 0.34%, to 39,313.21, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 6.27 points, or 0.12%, to 5,313.04 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC lost 15.13 points, or 0.09%, to 16,644.89
Nine of the 11 major S&P sectors were trading lower, with utilities .SPLRCU and communication services .SPLRCL leading the losses.
Among individual stocks, Elf Beauty ELF.N fell 14.5% after it forecast annual sales and profit below estimates, while Paramount Global PARA.O jumped 4.7% as investors cheered strong growth at the media group's streaming business.
Videogame publisher Take-Two Interactive Software TTWO.O climbed 2.6% as it expects net bookings to grow in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
Expedia EXPE.O advanced 8% after the online travel agency beat analysts' expectations for second-quarter profit, while The Trade Desk TTD.O added 4.1% after the ad tech firm forecast third-quarter revenue above analysts' estimates.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.08-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.02-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P 500 posted four new 52-week highs and two new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 20 new highs and 51 new lows.
