Earnings Downgraded due to Rising Interest rate Risks and Slowing Growth

　　

US stock declined on Monday and failed to hold onto gains. S&P500 erased a rally that reached 1% earlier in the day, while the Nasdaq 100 underperformed after an advance that briefly drove the tech 20% above its June low. Nvidia tumbled almost 6.5% with a release of a gloomy forecast. Mounting risks of more aggressive interest rate policy and slowdown economic growth have sparked earnings downgrade.

The latest survey from the Fed Bank of New York showed that consumers’ expectations for US inflation would sharply decline over the coming years, with the dropping price of oil playing a key role in those results and likely contributing to a lower headline rate of inflation for July released on Wednesday. Still, almost all inflation measures are running well above the Fed’s 2% target.

The benchmark, S&P500 slid with a 0.12% loss on daily basis, although it gained 1% growth at the beginning of the trading session. However, six out of eleven still stayed in positive territory, as Real Estate performed best among all groups, rising 0.71% for the day, while Information Technology got the worst performance and fell 0.88% on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average almost remained not changed, Nasdaq 100 declined by 0.4%, and the MSCI World index rose 0.1% for the day.
