Closing Bell: August Vehicle Sales Fall Short; Wall Street Sees Choppy Trade

September got off to a shaky start with stocks fluctuating between slight and heavy losses for much of the day as Wall Street awaited the August jobs report. The report could make or break the case for a September hike. August vehicle sales came in short of estimates with some arguing the industry may have hit a plateau. Ford (F) - Get Report was one of the worst hit with a 25% slump in passenger car sales dragging down its overall performance. Walmart (WMT) - Get Report shares climbed following reports of job cuts. The world's largest retailer will reportedly cut 7,000 back-office positions, automating some of the duties. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) - Get Report rose after Macau gaming returned to growth for the first time since May 2014. Gross gaming revenue at Macau rose just over 1% in August.
