By Ankika Biswas and Amruta Khandekar (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes fell on Thursday as latest labor market data pointed to slowing economic growth due to rapid interest rate hikes, with risk-wary investors looking forward to monthly jobs data for a clearer picture of the economy. Initial jobless claims fell to a seasonally adjusted 228,000 for the week ended April 1, a Labor Department report showed, but the prior week data was revised to show 48,000 more applications were received. Economists had expected 200,000 claims for the latest week. Major technology and growth stocks such as Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Corp fell between 0.9% and 2.1% in early trading, while bond yields inched higher. The information technology sector was the biggest sectoral loser on the S&P 500 as investors piled into defensive stocks such as healthcare and utilities. A string of recent reports, including weak data on private payrolls and job openings earlier this week, have suggested slowing labor demand and raised hopes of a pause in the Federal Reserve's market-punishing rate hikes. However, unlike in the last few months when evidence of a cooling economy was cheered by investors on hopes it would allow for a less hawkish Fed, softer data has added to fears of a recession and pressured equities in recent days. "The last strongholds of the economy are beginning to weaken and that signals recession," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. "The labor market is beginning to weaken and that's basically playing into the hands of the Fed." The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq are headed for weekly declines for the first time in four weeks. All eyes will now be on the more-comprehensive report on non-farm payrolls, which are expected to have increased by 239,000 in March, down from the 311,000 jobs added in the prior month. The report is due on Friday, when the U.S. stock market will be shut for the Good Friday holiday. Fed fund futures are indicating a 54.5% chance of the U.S. central bank pausing rate hikes in May with the remaining betting on a 25 basis point rate hike, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. A slew of major U.S. banks will kick off the first-quarter earnings season for big-ticket companies next week. At 9:35 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 38.64 points, or 0.12%, at 33,444.08, the S&P 500 was down 14.98 points, or 0.37%, at 4,075.40, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 89.02 points, or 0.74%, at 11,907.84. Among major stock moves, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) Holdings Inc jumped 8.6% after a U.S. court denied the theater operator's request to lift a status quo order necessary for its stock conversion plan. Levi Strauss & Co (NYSE:LEVI) fell 12.7% after the apparel maker posted a fall in quarterly profit. Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 1.10-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and for a 1.45-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 5 new 52-week highs and no new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 14 new highs and 66 new lows.

@everyone U.S. equity futures extend yesterday’s rally amid apparent progress on the debt-ceiling impasse in Washington, while in Europe, natural gas prices and power fell after Russia offered to ease Europe’s energy crisis as U.S. stocks are looking at a stronger open. Yesterday, the S&P 500 erased a -1.3% loss in its biggest reversal since February to settle modestly higher as investors grew more optimistic that congressional Democrats and Republicans could reach a deal to avert a government debt default with October 18th, the date Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has estimated the government will run out of money and not be able to service its existing debts, if the ceiling remains in place. China markets and U.S. listed Chinese stocks (BABA, BIDU, JD) are rising as President Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed to hold a virtual summit by the end of the year. Late yesterday, top U.S. Senate Republican Mitch McConnell said his party would support an extension of the federal debt ceiling into December. The offer could provide an off-ramp to a months-long standoff between President Joe Biden’s Democrats and McConnell’s Republicans, who had been expected on Wednesday to block a third attempt by Senate Democrats to raise the $28.4 trillion debt ceiling. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 149 points to 27,678, the Shanghai Index remained closed for its Golden Week holiday, and the Hang Seng Index surged 735 points, or over 3% to settle at 24,701. The picture remains bright in Europe as well with the German DAX up 175 points to 15,150 and the FTSE 100 rising 67 points or nearly 1% to 7,060.
