Global indices started today's session in optimistic moods following news that China lowered its mortgage reference rate in order to provide support for economy affected by recent lockdowns. However moods started to deteriorate before end of the European session partially due to reports of new monkeypox cases in Europe. Also rising recession fears pushed U.S. stocks into a bear market. Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell to the lowest level since March 2021 while Nasdaq trades at level not seen since November 2020 as investors are still most concerned about the recession or stagflation scenario and the lack of action by the Fed to contain further declines.
