U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks fell on Monday, 10th October 2022, with the Nasdaq hitting its lowest closing point since July 2020, as investors worried about the impact of rising interest rates.

Nvidia fell 3.4%, while Qualcomm, Micron and Supermicro Semiconductor closed lower.

Investors are also cautious ahead of the start of the U.S. third-quarter earnings season, which kicks off on Friday with some major banks reporting quarterly results that day.

Estimates for third-quarter results have fallen in recent weeks. Year-over-year earnings for S&P 500 companies are now expected to rise 4.1% in the quarter, compared with expectations of an 11.1% increase in early July, according to IBES data from Lufthansa.

Microsoft’s 2.1% decline was one of the biggest drags on the three indexes. Technology stocks and energy stocks in the S&P 500 led the sectors lower.

Investors are still waiting for this week’s U.S. inflation data. The U.S. Treasury market was closed Monday for the Columbus Day holiday.
