- Indices opened 0.30-0.45% lower at the start of the cash session.
- The USD dollar is gaining slightly.
- U.S. bond yields are rising.
- Quantum companies continue their upward momentum.
The second session of this week on Wall Street begins with a slight sell-off on the major U.S. indices. The declines may partly stem from investors' profit-taking after recent dynamic gains. On the US100, historical highs were broken, and the index climbed to 22,100 points. Today, the index is undergoing a slight correction, losing 0.60% at the open and breaking below the 22,000-point level.
US500 also drops 0.50% to 6,050 points, while US2000 sees the largest decline of 1.10% to 2,335 points. The drops in the stock market are supported by the strong dollar and rising U.S. bond yields. Uncertainty may also partially stem from the upcoming Federal Reserve decision on interest rates tomorrow. However, a 25 basis point cut is already almost fully expected and priced in.
