Technology stocks hit the US stock market, with the NASDAQ Composite Index falling more than 1% after a sharp drop last week, and Tesla falling more than 6%.

Last week's interest rate hike by central banks in the UK and other countries has raised concerns about a recession, causing a collective decline in European and American stock markets. In this final week of June, the US stock market opened with slight fluctuations, with investors weighing whether repeated interest rate hikes by major central banks will lead to an economic downturn. After experiencing the largest weekly decline in three months, the Nasdaq rebounded unsuccessfully on Monday, turning down during trading and falling to a two-week low along with the S&P and Dow. Although chip stocks rebounded overall, several blue-chip technology stocks continued to decline, dragging down the overall market. Tesla's valuation was downgraded by Goldman Sachs, causing its stock price to plummet, the first time in over two months that it has fallen more than 6% in a single day. Commentators have said that last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell was still hinting that higher interest rates would remain in place for longer, causing an adjustment in the US stock market. Previously, several blue-chip technology stocks had risen sharply, but now there is a rotation of funds towards small-cap and value stocks. In addition, the "rebellion" in Russia on Saturday hit risk appetite. The June German IFO business index, which was released on Monday, fell more than expected for the second consecutive month. The key German government bond yield curve - the yield curve of two-year and ten-year German bonds - has been in the most severe inversion since 1992 for the third consecutive trading day, highlighting market concerns about the economic outlook. In the foreign exchange market, Kanda Masato, Japan's vice minister for international affairs at the Ministry of Finance, said that the recent rapid unilateral fluctuation of the yen means that Japan will not rule out any possible response to excessive foreign exchange volatility. After Kanda warned of a depreciation of the yen, the yen rebounded slightly, and the yen against the US dollar briefly recovered to 143.00 during trading, temporarily halting its trend of hitting a seven-month low for six consecutive trading days, but still close to its low for seven months. The US dollar index fell from its one-week high. In the commodity market, the Wagner mutiny has attracted market attention, and the geopolitical situation related to Russia's interference with supply prospects has led to a rebound in international crude oil prices, breaking away from the low of the past week. Supported by the fall of the US dollar, gold continued to rise from the three-month low it hit on Thursday. Tesla hits its biggest drop in over two months, Meta and Google's sector lead the decline in the S&P, and regional banks rise against the trend.
