US President Trump: Americans are paying higher gasoline prices, but its a "very cheap price" relative to what the US has achieved.On September 17, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced a 25 basis point increase in its benchmark interest rate to 4.25%. This is the first adjustment to the benchmark interest rate by the HKMA since 2023, ending a period of interest rate stability. This rate hike is a direct response to the Federal Reserves policy change on the same day. The HKMA stated explicitly that following the Feds policy is to maintain the Hong Kong dollars peg to the US dollar. Under this system, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, and Hong Kongs monetary policy must be linked to the US to ensure exchange rate stability. Despite the increase in the benchmark interest rate, the market remains cautious about the actual changes in local credit costs in Hong Kong. As is customary, major Hong Kong banks typically announce their own interest rate adjustment plans later that day after the HKMAs adjustment, with changes to the prime lending rate being particularly crucial.Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv, Ukraine, in the early hours of September 17 local time.US President Trump: (Regarding Iran) I predict the war will end soon, and the government has transformed the United States from a “dark age” to a “golden age.”September 17th - US President Trump: "That war?

As major tech companies hit new lows, the NASDAQ Composite seeks to settle below the 10,700 mark.

Big Tech Stocks Continue to Be Under Stress

As traders responded to the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data, which fell short of analyst forecasts, the S&P 500 recovered from session lows.


Energy stocks took the lead in the recovery from session lows today due to robust support. In today's trading session, ConocoPhillips, APA Corporation, and Marathon Oil all saw gains of 6–7%.


ConocoPhillips had significant price appreciation after exceeding analyst expectations, boosting the dividend, and expanding its share repurchase program by $20 billion.


Despite missing analyst profit expectations, Etsy increased by 14%. The firm gave a positive prognosis for the last quarter of this year, which caused the stock to rise.


Booking increased by 5% with the release of the $6.05 billion in sales and the higher-than-expected adjusted profits of $53.03 per share.


Fidelity National Information Services, which was down 25% following the publication of its quarterly report, was under a lot of pressure due to weak guidance.


Leading tech companies including Apple, Alphabet, and Amazon had declines of 2% to 3%. Meta Platforms, meanwhile, tested fresh lows at $88.50.


If the mega cap companies continue to experience pressure, the whole market will not be able to develop a sustained upward trend. Traders are nonetheless concerned that rising interest rates may harm the bottom lines of powerful corporations.


While the IT industry leaders seemed unstoppable during the coronavirus crisis, their stocks were under a lot of pressure from rising interest rates, a stronger currency, and a slowing global economy. Traders should continue to watch the large tech stocks' movements for hints regarding the S&P 500's future course.
