U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks on Wall Street plunged Wednesday, 19th May 2022, with Target plunging about 25%, as the retailer became the latest victim of a surge in prices that underscored great concern about the U.S. economy.

Both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted their biggest one-day losses since June 2020. Meanwhile, rate sensitive giant growth stocks exacerbated the recent decline and dragged the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower.

Amazon, Nvidia, and Tesla plunged nearly 7%, while Apple retreated 5.6%. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 were wiped out, led by non-essential consumer goods stocks and major consumer goods stocks, both down more than 6%.

Rising inflation, the conflict in Ukraine, prolonged supply chain disruptions, Covid-19 lockdowns in Asia, and tightening monetary policy by major central banks have all weighed on financial markets recently, raising concerns about a global economic slowdown.

By the close of trading, the S&P 500 index retreated 4.04% to close at 3,923.68 points. The Nasdaq collapsed 4.73% to 11,418.15 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 3.57% to 31,490.07 points.
