The three major indices of the U.S. New York Stock Exchange all closed lower on the 2nd (local time) following Fitch's downgrade of the U.S. national credit rating. The private employment data released before the opening, which significantly exceeded expectations, also weighed on investor sentiment.



On that day in the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 0.98% compared to the previous session. The S&P 500, centered on large-cap stocks, fell 1.38%, and the tech-focused Nasdaq index closed down 2.17%.
