Major US stock indexes have fallen significantly, as Apple’s stock crash, amid concerns over iPhone demand, hit its suppliers and technology sector amid mixed signals about the state of affairs between the United States and China over trade disputes.
AAPL shares fell by almost 4% after the publication of The Wall Street Journal reported that the company reduced production orders for new iPhones, presented in September.
In addition, as the data showed, the housing market index from the National Association of Housebuilders (NAHB) and Wells Fargo in November fell by 8 points, to 60 points. This is the lowest since August 2016. However, the index remains above 50, which indicates favorable sales prospects Recall the index was 69 points in November last year and reached a cyclical maximum of 74 points in December last year.
Most of the components of DOW recorded a decline (21 of 30). Outsiders were The Boeing Company (BA, -4.47%). The growth leader was Pfizer Inc. (PFE, + 1.54%).
Almost all sectors of the S & P finished trading in the red. The largest decline was shown by the technology sector (-3.3%). The increase was recorded only by the utility sector (+ 0.2%).
At the time of closing:
Dow 25,017.44 -395.78 -1.56%
S & P 500 2,690.73 -45.54 -1.66%
Nasdaq 100 7,028.48 -219.40 -3.03%

Growing affordability concerns resulted in builder confidence in the market for newly-built single-family homes falling eight points to 60 in November on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). Despite the sharp drop, builder sentiment still remains in positive territory.
“Builders report that they continue to see signs of consumer demand for new homes but that customers are taking a pause due to concerns over rising interest rates and home prices,” said NAHB Chairman Randy Noel, a custom home builder from LaPlace, La.
“For the past several years, shortages of labor and lots along with rising regulatory costs have led to a slow recovery in single-family construction,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “While home price growth accommodated increasing construction costs during this period, rising mortgage interest rates in recent months coupled with the cumulative run-up in pricing has caused housing demand to stall.”
Treasury yields ticked higher, paring last week's steep yield decline, as traders watch how U.S.-China trade tensions will shake out ahead of a meeting between President Donald Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping next week.
U.S. stock-index futures dipped on Monday, pressured by declines in tech shares, including Apple (AAPL) and uncertainties over China-U.S. trade dispute.

Pleased That EU Ministers Support Draft Accord
The bullion rose over the last three days
and managed to defend the key bullish trend line, while the price also jumped
above the 100-day moving average. It was consolidating on Monday, changing
hands at 1,220 USD, which was relatively unchanged on the day during the London
session.
The price is now testing previous lows at
around 1,222 USD and if this zone is broken, further rise toward the current
cycle highs near 1,240 USD could occur quickly. However, stocks are rising today
- Monday - which might be negative for the bullion.
On the downside, the support is probably at
the 100-day moving average at 1,213 USD and then it could move to the major
bullish trend line near 1,206 USD. As long as gold trades above these levels,
the short-term outlook still seems positive.
The greenback seems to be topping, which
could provide another bullish impetus for the precious metal as the Dollar
index dropped back below the important 97.00 level and it seems to want to go
further lower.

Some end-of-week comments from several officials showed a bit of caution on how close current rates might be to the so-called neutral rate at which monetary policy is neither boosting or slowing the U.S. economy.

Slowest sector is properties with two bedrooms or fewer with a 0.1% monthly price fall, a result of less active buy-to-let investor activity, giving first-time buyers an opportunity this autumn:

Mortgage approvals for new buy-to-let purchases down by 14% compared to a year ago and down by 53% compared to three years ago as more punitive tax regime has its desired effect
First-time buyers help to fill some of the gap left by lower buy-to-let activity with their year-on-year mortgage approvals up by 1%
