U.S. stocks closed in negative territory on Friday (Aug. 28) after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh reiterated the goal of curbing inflation during the Jackson Hole meeting, leading to expectations that the Fed may raise interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 53,559.99 points, down 9.45 points (-0.02%), while the S&P 500 closed at 7,711.76 points, down 19.23 points (-0.25%), and the Nasdaq closed at 26,402.42 points, down 138.93 points (-0.52%).

PayPal shares also fell 12.7% following reports that Advent and Stripe had abandoned plans to acquire the company.
