Wall Street ends volatile month as oil concerns rise
US markets experienced a decline in stocks at the end of a volatile month on Wall Street, with the Dow Jones Index falling by 0.7% to reach 53,185.9 points, and the S&P 500 dropping by 0.33% to 7,686.14 points. This came amid rising oil prices that renewed inflation concerns and increased expectations of tightening monetary policy. The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have also heightened worries about rising energy prices. Additionally, the chances of a 25 basis point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September now exceed 65%, given the escalation of geopolitical risks, the decline in the utilities sector, and ongoing gains in other sectors such as energy and artificial intelligence.
