NY stock markets close lower on a day marked by data and Fed expectations

The NY stock markets close lower in a session that was marked by the publication of the purchasing manager index. It's important to know more about this subject, especially in order to keep up to date with the area. Check it out below. 

New York Stock Exchange closes lower on a day full of data and expectations 

The New York Stock Exchange fell last week. This is because, even amid the data and expectations released, the results were not what investors had imagined. This session was marked by the purchasing managers' index. 

The Dow Jones index closed at a low of 1.40%, with 33947.10 points. On the other hand, the S&P 500 fell to 1.79%, with 3998.84 points. Finally, the Nasdaq closed at 1.93%, with 11239.94 points.

According to Oxford Economics, this advance in the PMI does not mean that the economy is immune to challenges. This is because activity in the services sector is resilient at the moment, but this is only a matter of time. 

According to S&P Global, other PMIs were released on the same date, indicating a contraction in activity. Data that was higher than expected by investors was also on their radar. 

An analysis by CMC Markets suggests that the market is still reacting to the payroll data. However, the published data shows that the market is stronger, which means that interest rates are high in order to control inflation. 

Period of silence

Fed officials remain silent about the period, as there will be a meeting to determine the interest rate hike. According to the CME tool, there was a 74.7% chance that the hike would be 50 basis points. 

This figure would be lower than the 78.2% recorded the previous week, on Friday (02). One of the negative highlights is Salesforce, closing down 7%, mainly after the departure of the co-CEO last week. 

Investors were greeted with a surprise, as the director and co-founder of Slack is to leave the company. 

Zscaler's fall is another one we can't fail to mention, closing the day down 6%. This characteristic has meant that the losses have continued over the last few days. 

Last but not least, Tesla shares plummeted by 6.37%. This happened with the information that the company intends to manufacture the Model Y in its Shanghai factory. 

Main stock exchange

The NYSE, the acronym used to refer to the New York Stock Exchange, is the world's leading stock exchange. Located in New York, in the United States of America, it is one of the pillars of the world economy. 

The history of this stock exchange began in 1792. At first, it had only three securities and two types of shares. However, in 1929, the stock market experienced its biggest fall, triggering a global financial crisis. 

This period of crisis led Congress to develop the SEC, which is responsible for regulating the capital markets in the United States of America. This is still the case today. 

In the decades that followed, the stock market underwent several transformations, including the entry of thousands of companies. In 2013, for example, the NYSE was acquired by ICE. 

Through the movements that have taken place on the stock exchange in recent years, it has become the world's leading exchange in terms of capitalization. The main products are shares, investment quotas and more. 

Investing in the New York Stock Exchange 

As mentioned above, the New York Stock Exchange is the world's leading stock exchange, especially in terms of capitalization. However, before investing in the exchange's products, it's worth finding out about their benefits. 

The Brazilian market is not the only one that allocates capital to this exchange. One of the advantages is precisely the variety of assets it brings together in one place. This way, you can get exposure to large companies with high net worth funds. 

Before investing in the New York Stock Exchange, you need to find out your objectives and investor profile. It's worth noting that NYSE securities are Variable Income, meaning that the risks are higher than Fixed Income. 

For this reason, it is important to understand your risk tolerance, which must be compatible with the stock market. Investing in the stock market is usually aligned with the long term, which tends to dilute the risks. 

Stock Exchange

First of all, before investing in the stock market, it's important to understand the terms "rise and fall" of the stock market. It's worth noting that the term does not refer to the stock exchange, but to an essential indicator for the institution. 

First of all, it's important to understand the concept of the stock exchange. In general terms, it is an institution where various assets are traded, including: shares, commodities, BDRs, Treasury Direct and more. 

The concept of "rise and fall" basically refers to the indicator that measures the performance of the stock exchange. In this way, it functions as a theoretical portfolio, where the main companies are traded. 

When the stock market is rising, the indicator tends to rise. On the other hand, when it's down, the index falls. Regardless of the case, it is essential to be aware of this information. 

At certain times, the stock market index generates apprehension among investors, especially those who are holding a stock. It is important to note that the market is unpredictable, meaning that falls and rises cannot be predicted by anyone. 

Even though the stock market is going down, the New York Stock Exchange is the main one in the financial market. However, lately it has been trading at historic highs, which has boosted the market in many ways. 

To know the best time to invest, it is essential to follow the news about the rise and fall of the stock market.
