The European Central Bank finished its monthly meeting today and mentioned that they will raise the rate next month, at least, 0.25%. ECB also notified that the Eurozone’s inflation rate is 8.1% in May.

It’s all in the range of the expectations but the global equity markets moved in a negative way.

MSCI Global stock index was downed 0.9%, the European STOXX 600 index was downed 1.4%,

Hang Seng index fell 0.7% and the Chinese CSI 300 index was downed 1.1%.

Adding to this, the Chinese government ordered a new partial lockdown in Shanghai and Beijing last night. Another negative factor to the market.

DJ INDEX CHART (JUN 03~JUN 09)

US stock market retreated big today with negative news from Europe and China.

DJ Index fell 1.9%, S&P 500 index was downed 2.4% and NASDAQ index downed 2.8% today.

Apple was downed 3.6%, MS was downed 2.1%, Amazon was downed 4.2% and Tesla was downed 0.9%.

Tomorrow is the day with US’s CPI numbers and the perception of the market today is not good at all.
