The US stock market finished session deeply in negative territory on Monday, 22 August 2022, continuing the prior weeks negative performance, as risk aversion selloff across the board amid rising concerns about the outlook for interest rates as well as caution ahead of this weeks economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. At the close of trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index stumbled 643.13 points, or 1.91%, to 33,063.61. The S&P500 index was down by 90.49 points, or 2.14%, to 4,137.99.

Investors continued withdrawing profit off the table amid caution ahead of this weeks economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for additional clues about the pace of future interest rate hikes, after Fed officials signals more hawkish rate hikes ahead.

St. Louis Fed president James Bullard said recently that he expects a third straight 75 basis point interest rate hike in September, while San Francisco Fed colleague Mary Daly said that raising rates by 50 or 75 basis points next month would be reasonable.
