Major US stock indexes dropped significantly in the session

Major US stock indexes have fallen significantly, as concerns about China and the impact of higher Treasury bond yields on global growth led to a fall in luxury companies and microchip manufacturers.

The focus of market participants was also data on the United States. According to a report by the Department of Labor, US producer prices rose 0.2% in September, which followed an unexpected decline in August and was in line with expectations. The rise in prices for services outweighed a slight drop in commodity prices. In August, the final demand price index fell by 0.1%. For 12 months to September, the producer price index rose by 2.6%, which is slightly less than expected. Economists had forecast a PPI growth of 0.2% for the month and an increase of 2.8% on an annualized basis. Last month, a key indicator of producer prices, which excludes services in the field of food, energy and trade, grew by 0.4%, which is the largest increase since January. For 12 months to September, the main PPI rose by 2.9%, as in the previous month.

In addition, as it became known, wholesale inventories in the US grew slightly more than originally estimated in August. The Commerce Department reported that wholesale inventories rose 1.0% instead of the 0.8% originally reported last month. Stocks rose 5.3% over the same period last year. The component of wholesale inventories, which is included in the calculation of gross domestic product growth, rose by 0.7% in August.

All DOW components recorded a decline (30 out of 30). Outsiders were NIKE, Inc. shares. (NKE, -6.81%).

All sectors of the S & P finished trading in the red. The largest decline was shown by the technology sector (-3.9%)

At the time of closing:

Dow 25,598.74 -831.83 -3.15%

S & P 500 2,785.68 -94.66 -3.29%

Nasdaq 100 7,422.05 -315.97 -4.08%
