The U.S. Treasury market acts as a global benchmark upon which many financial products are based and so uncertainty about its stability can cause anxiety for investors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See: <\/strong>Fitch cuts U.S. credit rating: Here\u2019s what you need to know<\/p>\n<p>The news found a stock market arguably vulnerable to unwelcome surprises, with the S&amp;P 500 index having already gained 17.6% this year and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite up 33.5%. <\/p>\n<p>The CBOE VIX Index, an option-based gauge of expected S&amp;P 500 volatility, jumped 15.4% to 16.10, after hovering around 16.48, its highest level since May 31 earlier in the session, according to FactSet data. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarkets will take some time to digest the news,\u201d said Frank Lietke, executive director and president at Ally Invest Securities.\u00a0However, he said he doesn\u2019t expect the credit rating downgrade to cause the stock market much long-term damage. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen this before,\u201d Lietke said. \u201cThis alone won\u2019t be enough to put significant downward pressure\u00a0on stocks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at StoneX, said when the S&amp;P ratings agency  downgraded the U.S. credit rating twelve years ago, the S&amp;P 500 index fell about 80 points, or 6.6% the next trading day. <\/p>\n<p>However, the sell-off in response to the 2011 ratings downgrade had come on the back of \u201can already-weak market,\u201d with the index being in a downtrend. This time, the market is in a clear uptrend, which partly explains why we haven\u2019t had a major sell-off yet, Razaqzada said. <\/p>\n<p><strong>See: <\/strong>How Fitch downgrade might impact Treasury\u2019s $1 trillion third-quarter borrowing plans<\/p>\n<p>Also earlier Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury published its August refunding statement.

Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a gain of 175,000. In its revised figures for June, ADP said 455,000 new jobs were created instead of the initially reported 497,000. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ADP report is favorable for the economy\u2019s prospects of securing a soft landing, meaning inflation returning to the Fed\u2019s target without a large downturn,\u201d according to Bill Adams, Chief Economist for Comerica Bank. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo do that, the economy needs to cool enough that labor demand and supply come better into alignment, but not so much that job losses at employers that are cutting back overwhelm the effect of hiring at employers that are still expanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Companies in focus<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"articleList\">\n<li>\n      <strong>Advanced Micro Devices Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        AMD,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote
