The Stock Exchanges of the United States on Monday closed at its lowest level in a month, signaling growing doubts about whether the stock market can weather the recent weakness in industry and global demand.
The Dow Jones, the reference to New York Stock Exchange, fell 1.05% to 12,381 points. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 1.58% to 2,758 points. The Standard & Poor's 500 lost 1.19% to 1,317 points.
Actions related to the industrial, energy and technology, very sensitive to growth, were among the worst performance on the day. Weak manufacturing data coming from Germany and China surprised the market and gave arguments that investors reduce exposure to these segments.
The heavy machinery maker Caterpillar, listed in the Dow Jones fell 2.3% while the industrial index of the S & P fell 1.4% and for information technology declined 1.5%.
The main reason for the decline of the market is "a combination of cooling on the global economy and an increased risk from Europe," according to Paul Zemsky, head of asset allocation at ING in New York.
"The downgrade of Greece on Friday, warning that other countries can be cut ... we have just a cocktail of negative news here."
Shares of Coca-Cola lost 1.2%, and equipment maker Joy Global fell 3.1%.
