US indices opened lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones falling for the first time in seven days, as investors decided to took some money off the table after recent strong rally. “Recent data points like the jobs report and not-as-bad-as-feared company updates have fueled the view that the worst of the declines could be behind us,” a team of RBC Capital Markets analysts told clients Monday. “The risk-on trade really is gaining traction. Valuations have spiked to historical highs in many industrial sub-sectors, signaling a strong recovery is potentially taking hold.” But some investors are starting to wonder whether the move as gone too far, too fast considering the economy as just started to reopen. The official economic arbiter in the U.S. declared that the economy entered a recession earlier this year. The National Bureau of Economic Research determined that a “clear peak in monthly economic activity” occurred in February, which ended  longest expansion in history. Investors are looking forward to the Fed monetary policy decision on Wednesday. Most likely FED will keep the funds rate steady at 0-0.25% and re-commit to using the full range of tools.
