US markets settle mostly lower on lingering concerns about economic impact of Omicron variant

11 Jan 2022 Evaluate

The US markets settled mostly lower on Monday on lingering concerns about the economic impact of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and the likelihood the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the near future. Meanwhile, Treasury yields have moved sharply higher in recent sessions, with the yield on the benchmark ten-year note reaching its highest levels since January of 2020. The jump in yields comes amid a more hawkish tone from the Fed, as the minutes of the central bank's latest meeting indicated it plans to accelerate monetary policy normalization.

Further, traders also looked ahead to key inflation data as well as a Senate hearing on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's renomination. On the sectorl front, airline stocks continued to see significant weakness on the day, resulting in a 1.7 percent drop by the NYSE Arca Airline Index. Considerable weakness also remained visible among steel stocks, as reflected by the 1.2 percent decline by the NYSE Arca Steel Index. Retail and telecom stocks also ended the day notably lower, while gold stocks showed a strong move to the upside amid a modest increase by the price of the precious metal.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 162.79 points or 0.45 percent to 36,068.87 and S&P 500 was down by 6.74 points or 0.41 percent to 4,670.29, while Nasdaq gained 6.93 points or 0.05 percent to 14,942.83
