US stock exchanges closed in the red on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 index falling to its monthly low. Investors were affected by negative data from China, worsening their attitude to risky assets. At the same time, the report on the growth of retail sales in the United States for July exceeded analysts' forecasts, which raised concerns about a possible tightening of the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve System. The increase in sales was 0.7% on a monthly basis – the fastest pace in the last six months. At the same time, economists expected growth of 0.4%. Experts note that the new economic data confirmed the stability of the US economy even with a tougher policy of the Central Bank. Also on Tuesday, the US Department of Labor reported the highest increase in import prices since May 2022. In July, they increased by 0.4%, while in the previous month they decreased by 0.1%. The annual growth in July was -4.4%, which is less than in the previous month (-6.1%). Thus, a combination of weak economic indicators, concerns about the Fed's monetary policy and potential risks in the banking sector has led to a deterioration in sentiment in the US stock markets. Following the results of yesterday's trading day, the Dow Jones index fell by 1.02%, closing at 34946.39 points. The Standard & Poor's 500 lost 1.16%, stopping at 4,437.86, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.14%, closing at 1,3661.05 points.
