US OPEN: Wall Street skid continues

3:17 PM 6 May 2022
  • US stocks opened lower
  • NFP above expectations
  • Under Armour (UAA.US) plunges on weak outlook

US indices launched today's session lower, extending yesterday's losses despite an upbeat NFP report. The Dow dropped 480 points, or 1.4%, S&P 500 lost 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite slid more than 2% as negative sentiment around the implications of tighter global monetary policy continues to dominate markets. The NFP report showed that the economy added 428K jobs while average hourly earnings increased slightly slower, which strengthens expectations that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates. 

US2000 continues to move lower and is currently testing recent lows at 1838 pts. Should break lower occur, downward move may accelerate towards pre-pandemic highs at 1717 pts. Source: xStation5
