It was a week of horrors for the U.S. markets as they suffered their biggest weekly percentage decline in two years as investors wrestled with the growing likelihood of a recession while global central banks tried to stamp out inflation.
High inflation rates have caused panic in the minds of investors this year because of the U.S. Federal Reserve along with most major central banks, beginning to pivot from easy monetary policies to tightening measures which will slow the economy, possibly causing a recession and potentially dent corporate earnings.
Because of this, the Dow Jones closed the previous week under the 30,000 BP after dipping below that level on Thursday for the first time since January 2021. The Dow closed down 4.8% for the week, its 11th losing week out of 12, while the S&P 500 slumped 5.8% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq also fell 4.8%. Each of the three major Wall Street indexes fell for the third week in a row.
