S&P 500 Index Benchmark Fell 21%, H.K. Stocks See A Six-Month Decline Of 6.57%


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

The sell-off in U.S. stocks intensified after weak consumer spending data fueled recession fears, with the S&P 500 Index posting its worst first-half performance since Richard Nixon became president.

The benchmark S&P 500 index fell 21% in the first six months of the year. The U.S. consumer spending fell for the first time this year, indicating weaker economic conditions than previously expected against a backdrop of soaring inflation and Fed rate hikes.

The view that the Fed needs to act quickly to compensate for previous misjudgments on inflation hit the market hard, as traders are increasing their bets that the economy will fall into recession under aggressive tightening policies.
