U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower on Tuesday, 29th June 2022, in a broad-based sell-off as poor consumer confidence data dampened investor optimism and fueled concerns about the recession and the upcoming earnings season.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell about 2% and 3%, respectively, with Apple, Microsoft and Amazon bringing the biggest drag to the index. The blue-chip Dow was down about 1.6%.

With the end of the month and the end of the second quarter approaching, the index S&P 500 is on track for its largest first-half percentage decline since 1970.

All three major indexes are on track to post their first two consecutive quarterly declines since 2015.

By the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 491.27 points, or 1.56%, to 30,946.99, the S&P 500 was down 78.56 points, or 2.01%, to 3,821.55, and the Nasdaq was down a heavy 343.01 points, or 2.98%, to 11,181.54.

Meanwhile, 10 of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500 closed lower. Energy stocks were the only sector to gain, benefiting from higher crude oil prices.
