US markets end lower on Monday

19 Jul 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended lower on Monday as traders continued to worry about the economic outlook ahead of next week’s Federal Reserve meeting. Traders were also reluctant to make significant bets ahead of the release of earnings news from a slew of big-name companies later this week. However, the early strength on markets came as traders continued to pick up stocks at relatively reduced levels after the rally seen last Friday halted a recent downward trend. Positive sentiment was also generated in reaction to upbeat earnings news from Goldman Sachs, with the financial giant jumping by 2.5 percent. The advance by Goldman Sachs came after the company reported second quarter results that exceeded street estimates on both the top and bottom lines.

On the economic data front, the National Association of Home Builders released a report showing a substantial deterioration in US homebuilder confidence in the month of July. The report showed the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index plunged to 55 in July from 67 in June. Street had expected the index to edge down to 66. The HMI showed its second biggest single-month drop after a 42-point nosedive in April 2020, tumbling to its lowest level since May 2020. On the sectoral front, Healthcare stocks came under pressure over the course of the session, dragging the Dow Jones US Health Care Index down by 2.2 percent. Significant weakness also emerged among biotechnology stocks, as reflected by the 2.1 percent slump by the NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 215.65 points or 0.69 percent to 31,072.61, Nasdaq declined 92.37 points or 0.81 percent to 11,360.05 and S&P 500 was down by 32.31 points or 0.84 percent to 3,830.85.
