US stock pre-market: Dow futures fell more than 250 points, Tesla hit a two-year low

$Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$ Yingwei Financial Investing.com - Before the market on Thursday (15th), US stock index futures continued their decline after the interest rate meeting. Previously, although the Federal Reserve cut interest rate hikes, it said it would continue to raise interest rates until 2023, until interest rates reached 5.1%. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell (Jerome Powell) also stressed that there are no plans to suspend interest rate hikes.

Within a day, the US will release a large number of data, including retail sales and unemployment benefits. If economic data is weak, it is expected to raise expectations that the Fed will shift due to the recession, thereby providing some comfort to the market. Some analysts still expect that the Federal Reserve will suspend interest rate hikes next year due to the economic slowdown.

Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, stated, “The Federal Reserve is still very secretive about the possibility of a recession, but given that most officials believe that risks tend to decline, it can be said that they are far more concerned about the economic outlook than they are willing to admit.”

Standard Chartered said that the slowdown in US economic activity will provide sufficient reason for the Federal Reserve to suspend interest rate hikes in March next year.

On the previous trading day, US stocks fell, with the Dow down 0.42%, the S&P 500 down 0.61%, and the NASDAQ down 0.76%. The Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index rose 0.50%.

As of 20:31 Beijing time (08:31 a.m. EST), the US stock market on Yingwei Financial Investing.com showed that Dow futures fell 252.9 points, or about 0.74%, to 33,713.50 points; S&P 500 futures fell 38.1 points or about 0.95% to 3,957.20 points; and NASDAQ 100 futures fell 140.4 points, or about 1.2%, to 11,600.50 points.
