US markets end lower on Wednesday

10 Aug 2023 Evaluate

The US markets ended lower on Wednesday, with Nasdaq settling over a percent, as traders remained cautious ahead of the release of a key report on consumer price inflation on Thursday. Street expects the report to show consumer prices rose by 0.2 percent in July, matching the uptick seen in June. Core consumer prices, which exclude food and energy prices, are also expected to rise by 0.2 percent for the second straight month. The annual rate of consumer price growth is expected to accelerate to 3.3 percent in July from 3.0 percent in June, while the annual rate of core consumer price growth is expected to hold at 4.8 percent. Besides, traders will be looking for the report to reinforce expectations that the Federal Reserve will leave interest rates unchanged next month.

On the sectoral front, Computer hardware stocks saw substantial weakness on the day, contributing to the steep drop by the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Reflecting the weakness in the sector, the NYSE Arca Computer Hardware Index plunged by 4.4 percent. Significant weakness was also visible among airline stocks, as reflected by the 2.6 percent slump by the NYSE Arca Airline Index. The index fell to its lowest closing level in two months. Semiconductor, financial and networking stocks also saw considerable weakness on the day, while energy stocks bucked the downtrend amid a sharp increase by the price of crude oil.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 191.13 points or 0.54 percent to 35,123.36, Nasdaq dropped 162.31 points or 1.17 percent to 13,722.02 and S&P 500 was down by 31.67 points or 0.7 percent to 4,467.71.
