Dow falls 500 points in the worst start to December since 1931

All three major equity benchmarks are in correction

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower Monday in a volatile session that saw the major benchmarks whipsawing between losses and modest gains in early trading, before investors began selling aggressively Monday afternoon into the close.

The selloff helped drive all three major benchmarks deeper into correction territory, and it marked the worst performance month-to-date in December since 1931 for both the S&P and the Dow.

How did the benchmarks trade?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.11% retreated 507.53 points, or 2.1%, at 23,592.78, the S&P 500 SPX, -2.08% fell 54.01 points, or 2.1%, at 2,545.94, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -2.27%   retreated 156.93 points to 6,753.73, a drop of 2.3%.

At its session highs, the Dow was down just 12 points, while the S&P was up slightly more than 1 point. The Nasdaq was trading up 23 points just after noon on Monday, or 0.3% higher.

Trump feuert ja mächtig gegen die FED und Powell.
Trump Nov. 2017 bei der Nominierung:
"Today is an important milestone on the path to restoring economic opportunity to the American people"
"He's strong, he's committed and he's smart, and if he is confirmed by the Senate, Jay will put his considerable talents and experience to work leading our nation's independent central bank"

Trump Nov. 2018:
"I'm not even a little bit happy with my selection of Jay"

"I'm doing deals and I'm not being accommodated by the Fed. ... They're making a mistake because I have a gut and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me."

Ja, der gute Donald. Er führt halt die USA wie seine Unternehmen. In den Foren ist man nicht sehr glücklich über ihn. Die Inflation steigt und er kritisiert die FED für die Bekämpfung. Dem Donald hat wohl jemand die Phillips-Kurve geflüstert. Wie sagte schon der gute Schmidt: "Lieber 5 Prozent Inflation als 5 Prozent Arbeitslosigkeit."

Das Problem ist ja vor allem, wie sich Powell jetzt verhält, ohne dass es zu sehr nach Beeinflussung durch die Präsidenten aussieht. Mal schauen wie das morgen ausgeht.
