US stock market news today: stock indices continued to decline in early trading on Monday after falling to five-week lows last Friday.

The U.S. stock market graph and US 100 investors are showing that investors are increasingly concerned about the prospects of a recession in the global economy, which seems almost inevitable, writes MarketWatch. Central banks around the world are pursuing policies to raise interest rates to combat high inflation.

Thus, last week, the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of England raised rates by 50 basis points and signaled their intention to continue tightening monetary policy until there are clear signs that inflation is getting closer to target values.

Market participants are ceasing to see the bad news as good news, that is, capable of curbing overly aggressive central bankers, and are beginning to accept it for what it is and expect corporate earnings cuts again, MarketWatch notes.

Also, BTIG senior technical analyst Jonathan Krinsky noted that the main change in the markets in recent weeks has been the weakening of the correlation between stocks and government bonds that has been seen since the beginning of the year.

Earlier, we reported that the U.S. stock market ended the year down 20%.
