The US stock market on the 31st continued to fall. The amount of reduction was widened toward the close. The S & P 500 Index fell on a quarterly basis for the first time since two years before it entered the bear market due to the new coronavirus disease.

  • U.S. stocks continue to fall, falling and expanding late-Dow Jones Industrial Average depreciates $ 550
  • Longer bonds rise in US Treasuries, 10-year bond yield 2.32%
  • Escape destination currency rises, risk motivation declines-yen is in the high 121 yen range
  • NY crude oil fell back, US president ordered record-scale release from oil reserves

S & P 500 species are 4530.41, down 1.6% from the previous day. On a quarterly basis, it has fallen by nearly 5%, the sharpest drop since January-March 2020 (first quarter). The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down $ 550.46 (1.6%) from the previous day to $ 34678.35. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 1.5%.

Price movements on the last day of January-March were limited in many financial markets. The quarter faced two threats: hawkish financial authorities seeking to curb inflation and the war in Ukraine.

“The question is what risks we will face in April-June,” said Rob Howarth, senior investment strategy director at US Bank Wealth Management. “Many challenges still remain,” he said.

“The recent rise has masked much of the pain of the last three months,” said Matt Mayley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak. The S & P 500 species has now fallen on the 35th day since the beginning of the year, the highest number since 1984 for January-March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

In the US Treasury market, as of 4:21 pm New York time, 2-year bond yields rose 1 basis point (bp, 1bp = 0.01%) to 2.31%. Yields on 10-year bonds fell 3bp to 2.32%, narrowing the yield gap with 2-year bonds. Markets remain wary of the risk that US monetary authorities’ tightening policies will cause recessions.
