The US Stock Market fell. The Dow average closed down by 267.58 dollars at 43,449.90 dollars, and the Nasdaq closed down by 64.83 points at 20,109.06.
After a high level of long-term interest rates and opening lower. Although the retail sales figures for November released in the morning exceeded market expectations, and the view that the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) would lower interest rates at tomorrow's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has not changed, it has led to expectations that the pace of rate cuts next year will be gradual. Ahead of the FOMC, the uncertainty in monetary policy weighed heavily, resulting in a continued weak trend for both the Dow average and Nasdaq throughout the day. By sector, Autos and Auto Parts, Pharmaceuticals and Biotech rose while Semiconductors and Manufacturing Equipment, and Health Care Equipment and Services fell.
Pharmaceutical company Pfizer (PFE) is rising. The outlook for revenue and profit for the fiscal year 2025 is nearly in line with market expectations, easing investor concerns. Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (TSLA) is rising due to an analyst upgrade in investment judgment. Sporting goods manufacturer Nike (NKE) is being bought on expectations for its quarterly earnings report due this week.
Comprehensive health care companies like CVS Health (CVS) and managed health company UnitedHealth (UNH) are being sold due to concerns about the impact on earnings from pressure by future president Trump and bipartisan lawmakers regarding pharmacy benefit management companies. Engineering firm Amethium (AMTM) and drone manufacturer Red Cat saw their quarterly earnings reports, announced after market close the previous day, disappoint and are being sold off. Buy now, pay later service provider Affirm (AFRV) announced plans to issue $0.7 billion worth of Convertible Bonds and dropped in value.
The Dow average, which has continued to decline since reaching the historic $0.04 million 5000 mark, fell again on the 17th, marking a consecutive drop for 9 trading days. This marks the first time with 9 consecutive days of decline since 1978.
