The S & P ended four consecutive declines, with the utilities sector leading the way, with the chip stock index down nearly 4 per cent. Some of the index outperformed the market, with Pinduoduo up nearly 5 per cent and station B up more than 4 per cent.

The pan-European stock index fell slightly to an one-week low, with Uniper up 10 per cent to support the utility sector up more than 3 per cent, while the technology sector fell nearly 2 per cent and fell nearly 5 per cent throughout the week.

The dollar index continued to hit its highest level since the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in June, approaching its highest level in more than 19 years, while the rouble fell 6% to a 10-day low. The yield on 10-year Treasuries hit an one-month low, falling more than 20 basis points at one point, while the yield on two-year German bonds fell 30 basis points this week, the biggest drop in history.

Us oil rose more than 3 per cent, ending a two-week decline, while European natural gas rose more than 10 per cent a week. Gold hit a new five-month low in five months, and silver hit a two-year low in three days, falling nearly 7% in a week. Lun copper hit a 17-month low on Wednesday, while zinc fell more than 4% to a seven-month low and fell more than 9% throughout the week.

After consumer spending fell for the first time this year on Thursday, the US ISM manufacturing index released on Friday fell more than expected in June to a two-year low, adding to fears that an aggressive Fed rate hike could trigger a recession. BofA strategists believe that US stock traders should embrace the "recession shock"; Goldman Sachs Group strategists believe that the risk of a future sell-off in US stocks is still high because pricing only reflects investors' expectations of a mild recession.

After the release of the ISM data, the low opening of the three major US stock indexes refreshed their daily lows, with the Nasdaq down nearly 1 per cent, the Dow down nearly 300 points, and the S & P 500 down about 0.9 per cent. After Micron Technology Inc issued revenue guidance for the fourth quarter that fell far below expectations and warned of a weak demand environment, some technology stocks, especially chips, led the decline in early trading. Lam Research Corp and Micron Technology Inc led the Nasdaq 100th index lower in early trading. At one point, the Philadelphia semiconductor index fell nearly 5 per cent. At midday, various sectors rebounded, with defensive sector utilities taking the lead in promoting the three major stock indexes to rise. S & P, which suffered its biggest first-half decline in 1970 on Thursday, finally reversed its four-day losing streak, but has not been able to break out of the bear market, and other stock indexes have not changed their cumulative losses throughout the week.

Risk aversion intensified after the ISM data, with the dollar index rising more than 0.9 per cent for the first time in two weeks, almost erasing all losses since the Fed raised interest rates by 75 basis points on June 15 and approaching the highest level since late 2002 set on June 15. After Russian gas giant Gazprom decided not to pay a dividend for the first time since 1998, the ruble, which recorded its highest monthly gain against the dollar in June, fell sharply to a 10-day low, falling for the first time in the last five weeks.

Year-on-year CPI growth in the eurozone hit an all-time high in June, with money market traders speculating that inflation could start to slow, predicting for the first time since the beginning of June that the ECB would raise interest rates by less than 75 basis points by the end of September, no longer confident of a 50 basis point hike. Market expectations of aggressive interest rate hikes by the central bank faded further after the release of US ISM data. The price of European and American government bonds accelerated and the drop in intraday yields widened sharply. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell below 2.80 per cent for the first time since late May, with an intraday drop of more than 20 basis points. At one point, the yield on 10-year German bunds fell more than 20 basis points from its intraday high. The yield on the more interest-sensitive 2-year German bond even recorded the biggest weekly drop in history.

Among commodities, international crude oil futures, which have been falling for days, rose intraday, and US stocks rose more than 3% in intraday trading. This week, the momentum of continuous weekly decline was reversed. On Thursday, the OPEC+ meeting agreed to increase production by 648000 barrels per day in August as expected, but media surveys show that despite the Biden administration's urge to increase production, OPEC oil production fell for the second month in a row in June. Due to fears of a recession, most of London's base metals, which fell by at least 20% in the second quarter, continued to fall. Len Zinc, which led the decline for days, fell to a seven-month low, down more than 9% in a week, and Ren Copper repeatedly refreshed its lowest level since February last year. Under the pressure of a stronger dollar, New York gold futures fell below the $1800 mark in intraday trading. Although they narrowed most of the losses in the day at the close, they continued to refresh their lows since early February, and silver futures hit a new low since July 2020.

The S & P ended four consecutive declines in the utility sector leading a rise in the chip stock index. Mining stocks continued to lead the decline in European technology stocks against the market.

The three major US stock indexes collectively opened lower, rising in the short term in early trading, and all refreshed their daily lows after the ISM data were released. The Dow Jones Industrial average fell nearly 290 points, or more than 0.9%, the S & P 500 fell nearly 0.9%, and the NASDAQ Composite Index fell nearly 1%. In midday trading, the Dow, the S & P and the Nasdaq rose one after another. When the session was high in late trading, the Dow rose more than 360 points, or nearly 1.2%, while the S & P and the Nasdaq rose nearly 1.2% and more than 0.9%, respectively.

In the end, the three major indexes collectively closed higher. The S & P 500, which led the rally, closed up 1.06% at 3825.33, wiping out all closing losses that hit a record low since Wednesday on Thursday and remain in a bear market range for four consecutive days. The Dow closed up 321.83 points, or 1.05%, at 31097.26, erasing all losses that closed at an one-week low on Thursday. The Nasdaq, which closed Thursday at its lowest level since June 17, closed up 0.9% at 11127.84, a four-day losing streak for the S & P.

Russell 2000, a small-cap stock index dominated by value stocks, closed up 1.16%, outperforming the market and falling for three days in a row. The Nasdaq 100 index, which is dominated by technology stocks, closed up 0.71%. Although it rebounded, it outperformed the market, with chip stocks leading the decline among component stocks.

As in June and the second quarter, major U. S. stock indexes have fallen this week, giving up some of last week's big gains. The Nasdaq and Nasdaq fell 4.13% and 4.3% respectively last week, and the S & P, which rose more than 6% last week, fell 2.21%, the 11th week in the last 13 weeks. the Dow, which rose more than 5% last week, fell 1.28% in the 12th week of the last 14 weeks, while Russell 2000, which rose 6% last week, fell 2.15% and fell in the ninth week in the last 11 weeks.
