U.S. Stocks Closed Sharply Lower, Hong Kong Stocks Opened Lower


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower on Tuesday, 26th July 2022, as Walmart’s profit warning weighed on retail stocks and unusually weak consumer confidence data fueled concerns about spending.

Retailer Walmart plunged 7.6% after the company cut its full-year profit forecast late Monday, saying food and fuel prices had soared and that it needed to cut prices to reduce inventories.

Target fell 3.6%, Amazon dropped 5.2% and the S&P 500 index of retail stocks fell 4.2%.

Earlier data showed that U.S. consumer confidence fell to a nearly one-and-a-half-year low in July as concerns about high inflation and interest rate hikes persisted, pointing directly to slower economic growth at the start of the third quarter.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its global growth forecast again on Tuesday, warning that downside risks from high inflation and the war in Ukraine are becoming a reality and could push the global economy to the brink of recession if left unchecked.
