US stock market sees worst first-half slide in 50 years

Wall Street stocks have fallen, a befitting end to a bruising first half of 2022, finishing solidly lower after US data showed persistently high affectation pinching consumer spending.

The broad-grounded S&P 500 finished on Thursday, down 0.9 percent for the day and a loss of further than 16 percent for the last six months, the worst first half of a time since 1970.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average exfoliate 0.8 percent to, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 1.3 percent.

The request has fallen utmost of the time, breaking the trend only in late March and for other brief stretches in a fairly steady retreat.

A series of bad affectation readings have urged the Federal Reserve to take over decreasingly aggressive measures to try to rein in growth and pricing pressures.

Two weeks agone, the central bank legislated compounded three- diggings of a point interest rate hike, the biggest increase in nearly 30 times. requests are importing whether to anticipate the same thing in July.

Recession fears

Commerce Department data showed spending rose just 0.2 percent in May, lower than half the increase in April and part of a steady downcast drift as consumers pull back amid surging prices.

The report also showed that the price indicator rose 6.3 percent compared to May 2021, the same periodic pace as in the previous month — a positive sign in the Federal Reserve’s battle against affectation.

But when affectation is taken into account, the data show a decline in real consumer spending, judges said.

“Affectation came in a little bit better than anticipated moment but presumably not good enough to help the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates 75 bases at the coming meeting,” said Tom Cahill of Ventura Wealth Management.

” At the same time we had the particular spending coming in negative for the month in real terms,” Cahill said.

“People are starting to get the sense that maybe the Federal Reserve is going to push the frugality into recession.”
