Interest Rate-sensitive U.S. Tech Giants Caused The Biggest Drag, H.K. Large Technology Stocks Fell


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks closed lower on Monday, 27th June 2022 with few catalysts to drive a change in investor sentiment near the halfway point of the year, during which stocks have been weighed down by rising inflation worries and Federal Reserve tightening.

All three major stock indexes closed lower, after trading shakily earlier in the session.

Interest rate-sensitive tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet caused the biggest drag.

Economic data were surprising, with the monthly rate of durable goods orders and the pending home sales index both better than expected in May, adding credibility to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s assertion that the economy is strong enough to withstand interest rate hikes to curb the impact of inflation, which is at a multi-decade high, and will not fall into recession.

There are still a few weeks to go before the second quarter earnings season, and 130 S&P 500 component companies have pre-reported earnings.

According to Lufthansa, 45 of them are positive and 77 are negative, resulting in a negative/positive ratio of 1.7, stronger than the first quarter but weaker than a year ago.
