In the United States, stock markets ended the trading session falling this Thursday (13).
The Dow Jones index fell 1.65% to 47,457 points. The Nasdaq technology exchange fell 2.29%, ending the day with 22,870 points. The S&P 500 dropped 1.66%, to 6,737 points.
The market continues to await new signals about the US economy after the end of the longest US government shutdown, which lasted 43 days. On Wednesday night (12), the House of Representatives approved the bill that extends government funding until January 2026 and, hours later, President Donald Trump signed the bill into law.
The performance of the indices worsened during the session, renewing lows several times during the day. The VIX, which works as a fear thermometer, jumped 14.33%, to 20.06 points.
In the Macquarie Group’s assessment, an increase in volatility across markets is expected, due to the greater number of economic data expected to be published in the coming weeks. Furthermore, fears surrounding the overvaluation of technology companies help to bring down the search for risk. Shares of Tesla (-6.64%), Oracle (-4.15%), Nvidia (-3.58%), and Intel (-5.23%) were highlighted. Furthermore, weighing against Alphabet (-2.84%), is the announcement of an investigation by the European Union against Google for alleged violations in online searches.
Meta, in turn, became a signal in the final stretch of the session and ended with gains of 0.14%.
