The three major U.S. stock indices moved sharply to the downside after hitting new records at the start of trading on September 5. After the opening of the stock exchanges, investors' optimism was linked to the prospects of Fed rate cuts amid weak employment data for August. However, as the trading session progressed, these hopes were replaced by concerns about a slowdown in the US economy and a possible recession.

The Nasdaq 100 Index, heavily weighted toward technology companies, fell 1.4% on Aug. 19, one of its worst performances since the April selloff.
