Market Summary:
The major indices are all trading lower following an active and bearish morning session on Wall Street, with the tech sector and the Treasury market in focus yet again. Shares of Apple (AAPL) took another hit this morning on reports that the firm’s sales in China dropped by over 20% this year amid fierce competition from local giant Huawei, which, together with Tesla’s (TSLA) and Microsoft's (MSFT) plunge, put pressure on the Nasdaq and the broader market. The slightly weaker-than-expected ISM services PMI added to this morning’s turmoil and since the survey also indicated increased price pressures in the sector, the Fed might have to choose between fighting inflation and avoiding an economic slowdown.
