US markets end in red on Monday

30 Aug 2022 Evaluate

The US markets ended in red on Monday, following the sell-off seen in last session. Concerns about the outlook for interest rates continued to weigh on the markets following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole economic symposium. Powell’s remarks were more hawkish than investors would have liked, signaling the Fed is likely to continue raising interest rates aggressively and maintain rates at a high level for an extended period. The subsequent weakness on markets reflects concerns the Fed’s battle against inflation will led to a continued slowdown by the economy. Besides, Monday’s stock moves also coincided with the yield on the 2-year Treasury note notching a fresh 15-year high as rate hike fears persisted.

On the sectoral fronts, semiconductor stocks showed a significant move to the downside on the day, dragging the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down by 1.9 percent to its lowest levels in over a month. Considerable weakness was also visible among pharmaceutical stocks, as reflected by the 1.3 percent drop by the NYSE Arca Pharmaceutical Index. Computer hardware, gold and airline stocks are also saw notable weakness, while energy stocks bucked the downtrend amid a sharp increase by the price of crude oil.

Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 184.41 points or 0.57 percent to 32,098.99, Nasdaq fell 124.04 points or 1.02 percent to 12,017.67 and S&P 500 was down by 27.05 points or 0.67 percent to 4,030.61.
