The US markets ended mostly in red on Monday after investors weighed downbeat data on eurozone manufacturing activity with reports that Chinese officials played down the significance of last week’s cancellation of visits to US farm states. The flash eurozone manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to an 83-month low of 45.6 in September, down from 47 in August. A figure of less than 50 indicates activity declined. In particular, Germany’s manufacturing PMI gauge fell to 41.4 in September, its worst reading in a decade. The biggest economy in the eurozone has been vulnerable to the deterioration of global conditions, drawing concerns that the export powerhouse will record its second consecutive quarter of negative growth from the June to September period, which would qualify as a technical recession.
Besides, the lackluster performance on markets also came as a lack of major US economic kept some traders on the sidelines. Reports on consumer confidence, new home sales, durable goods orders and personal income and spending are likely to attract attention in the coming days.
Nasdaq declined 5.21 points or 0.06 percent to 8112.46 and S&P 500 was down by 0.29 points or 0.01 percent to 2991.78, while Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 14.92 points or 0.06 percent to 26949.99.
