NEW YORK, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- The tech-heavy Nasdaq Index lost as much as 4.9 percent around noon on Monday at the height of sell-off in U.S. stock markets.
Deep losses in European stock markets and worse-than-expected economic indicators worsened market sentiment.
The Federal Reserve is scheduled to hold its monetary policy meeting from Tuesday to Wednesday with wide expectation of hawkish signals.
Both Chicago Fed National Activity Index for December 2021 and IHS Markit Flash U.S. Composite PMI for January 2022 saw material deterioration from the previous month.
In particular, U.S. preliminary composite output index fell to 50.8 in January, the lowest level since July 2020, as the Omicron wave exacerbates supply delays and labor shortages.
