Previous market losses
By the way, the past week turned out to be far from optimistic for the US stock market indicators. So, over the past seven days, key market indicators have lost more than 3%. The main reasons for such frightening negative dynamics were investors' concern about the prospects of the global economy, as well as corporate reports of a number of leading companies in the country. As a result, the past seven days was the seventh consecutive week of decline for the NASDAQ Composite and S&P 500, and the eighth for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Experts are confident that the existing negative in the market will continue in the near future, primarily against the background of uncertainty in geopolitics. Recently, US President Joe Biden announced the country's readiness to use force to protect Taiwan "in case of invasion." Such prospects, analysts suggest, may provoke a resumption of tensions between the two largest world economies and disrupt calm in the markets.
What influences the market today?
The main upward factor for US stock indicators on Monday were signals that Washington may lift some of the trade restrictions for China imposed by the previous president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Biden said that he intends to discuss the issue of duties on imports of goods from China to America with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.This week stock market participants are focused on the release of the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's May meeting regarding the further course of the monetary policy. The Fed's report is set to be released next Wednesday.
