US markets end mostly lower on Monday

01 Sep 2020 Evaluate

The US markets ended mostly lower on Monday on worries about US-China tensions. Also, investors were quite reluctant to make significant moves due to a lack of positive triggers. Investors continued to weigh the likely impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy despite recent comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell that said interest rates will likely remain lower for a long time. Clarida said a low unemployment rate by itself, in the absence of evidence that price inflation is running or is likely to run persistently above mandate-consistent levels or pressing financial stability concerns, will not, under our new framework, be a sufficient trigger for policy action.

Over the past five months, the Dow’s advanced 29.7%, its biggest 5-month percent gain since July 2009, while the S&P 500 added 35.4%, its best 5-month run since October 1938. The Nasdaq outperformed, advancing 52.9%, booking its strongest 5 months since March 2000. The S&P 500 clinched its best August return since 1986 and the Dow its best return for that month since 1984, while the Nasdaq recorded its strongest August since 2000. Much of the strength has been attributed to hopes for vaccines and treatments for the COVID-19 pandemic that has debilitated economies across the globe. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have continued to notch records as risk assets shrug off the economic damage wrought by the coronavirus.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 223.82 points or 0.78 percent to 28,430.05, S&P 500 was down by 7.7 points or 0.22 percent to 3,500.31, while Nasdaq gained 79.82 points or 0.68 percent 11,775.46.
