- US stocks start session slightly lower
- Nio (NIO.US) stock under pressure after news of $2 billion stock offering
- Coinbase (COIN.US) shares fell following SEC lawsuit threats
US indices launched today's session slightly lower partially due rising concerns that the spread of the coronavirus delta variant may weaken the economic recovery. Renewed mask mandates, travel restrictions, event cancellations, and delayed office reopening are weighing on market sentiment. Also many investors are bracing for more volatility in September, one of the seasonally weakest months of the year.
US2000 fell sharply this week, however buyers managed to halt declines around major support at 35000 pts which coincides with long-term upward trendline. As long as the price sits above further upward move is possible. On the other hand, should a break lower occur, then downward correction may deepen. Next major support is located around 34490 pts.
