US markets end lower on Tuesday

21 Aug 2024 Evaluate

The US markets ended lower on Tuesday on profit taking following the recent upward trend on Wall Street. Trading activity remained relatively subdued as traders seemed reluctant to make significant moves ahead of key events later this week that could impact the outlook for interest rates. Traders are likely to analyze the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting, which are due to be released on Wednesday, for additional clues about the likelihood of a rate cut next month. Later in the week, remarks by Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other Fed officials at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium are also likely to attract attention.

On the sectoral front, substantial weakness among energy stocks weighed on the markets, with the Philadelphia Oil Service Index and the NYSE Arca Oil Index plunging by 3.4 percent and 2.8 percent, respectively. The weakness among energy stocks came as the price of crude oil is seeing further downside after moving sharply lower over the two previous sessions. Considerable weakness was also visible among steel stocks, as reflected by the 1.4 percent loss posted by the NYSE Arca Steel Index. Semiconductor, natural gas and brokerage stocks also saw notable weakness, while networking stocks showed a strong move to the upside on the day.

Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 61.56 points or 0.15 percent to 40,834.97, Nasdaq dropped 59.83 points or 0.33 percent to 17,816.94 and S&P 500 was down by 11.13 points or 0.2 percent to 5,597.12.
