U.S. stock market's three major indices start with a decline...Nasdaq down by 1.38%

On the 18th (local time), the three major indices of the United States stock market started to decline simultaneously. The S&P500 fell by 1.04%, Nasdaq by 1.38%, and Dow Jones by 0.67%, with market unrest continuing.

Recent concerns about global economic slowdown and the repercussions of the downgrade of the United States credit rating are said to be burdening the market. In particular, the technology-focused Nasdaq showed a relatively large decline, reflecting investors' risk aversion sentiment.
