00:02Here's what we're watching on the street today.
00:04There was an air of cautiousness on the trading floor,
00:08but the Dow still managed to extend its bull
00:10run into an eighth day.
00:12Blue chips ended the session with a fractional gain,
00:15the NASDAQ with a fractional loss,
00:17and the S&P 500 was little changed.
00:19A reading on the mood of the consumer
00:21set the cautious tone.
00:23Consumer sentiment unexpectedly dropped to a six-month low.
00:27Fueling fears the Federal Reserve
00:29may be waiting too long before cutting interest rates.
00:33Next week will be busy with inflation and retail sales
00:36on the docket.
00:37Big box retailers such as Walmart, Target, Home Depot,
00:40and Lowe's are all set to report.
00:43In other news, viral TikToks on how to steal a car
00:45are causing big headaches for Hyundai and Kia owners.
00:49Six of the top 10 most stolen cars of 2023
00:52belong to those two automakers.
00:55According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau,
00:57the Hyundai Elantra was stolen more than 48,000 times
01:01last year.
01:02The Hyundai Sonata was a not-too-distant second
01:05with roughly 43,000 thefts,
01:07followed by the Kia Optima,
01:09which was stolen more than 30,000 times.
01:12Those numbers are based on actual thefts
01:14reported to the police.
01:15Carjackers learned how to exploit security flaws
01:19through videos posted on social media.
01:21Both car makers share manufacturing on some older models
01:24that lack the enhanced security of chip-embedded key fobs.
01:29Earlier this year,
01:29Hyundai and Kia reached a $200 million settlement,
01:34agreeing to pay for stolen vehicles and anti-theft upgrades
01:38for up to 9 million auto owners.
01:40That'll do it for your daily briefing
01:42from the New York Stock Exchange.
