U.S. Stocks Fell Again To A Two-month Low, H.K. Stocks Opened Lower


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks closed lower on Tuesday on 20th September 2022, as more evidence of inflation hitting U.S. corporate earnings emerged ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision announcement.

The benchmark S&P 500 index has fallen 19.1% so far this year, as investors worry that aggressive Fed tightening could send the U.S. economy into recession.

Last week’s scenario of FedEx releasing dismal earnings estimates was repeated, this time by automaker Ford.

Ford slumped 12.3%, its biggest one-day drop since 2011, after the company said inflation would bring $1 billion in additional costs, more than expected, and that deliveries of some vehicles were pushed into the fourth quarter because of parts shortages.

Ford’s rival, General Motors fell 5.6%.

The Commerce Department reported on Tuesday that home building permits plunged 10.0% in August to an annual rate of 1.517 million units, the lowest level since June 2020. This is one of the more forward-looking housing market indicators.

The yield on the U.S. 10-year indicator Treasury touched its highest since April 2011 at 3.56%, further inverting the closely watched two-year/10-year Treasury yield spread.

All 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 fell, with economically sensitive real estate stocks and materials stocks falling the most, down 2.6% and 1.9%, respectively.

Nike fell 4.5%.
