The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2% as the stock market came under another wave of selling following inflation and economic data. The S&P 500 is having its worst first six months of the year since 1970, and it is the worst six months ever for some other indexes.

The Dow led the market lower with a 2.7% tumble. Honeywell International (HON) sank to a November 2020 low. American Express (AXP) is at the lowest since February 2021 as shares fell more than 3% amid a bad day for financials. Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF) dropped 2.4%.

Boeing (BA) sold off 4.6% and Caterpillar (CAT) lost 3.4%.

The Nasdaq composite lost 2.2% and the S&P 500 1.8%. The small-cap Russell 2000 fell 2.2% also.

Volume fell on the Nasdaq and rose on the NYSE compared with the same time on Wednesday.

Major stocks such as Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN) and Nvidia (NVDA) fell 2% to 4.8%. All are trading below their 21-day exponential moving averages after trying to move above those lines in the past several days.

The S&P 500 is on track for the worst June since 2008, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. As of Wednesday’s close, the S&P was off 7.6%, the worst June since an 8.6% drop in June 2008. The Nasdaq and Russell 2000 are on pace for the worst first half of any year on record, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500, down 21% year to date, is having its worst first half since 1970, when it also fell 21%.

Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) fell 1.3%.

Economic Data Doesn’t Help Stock Market

Stock market futures were lower before the latest economic reports came out, and the new data didn’t help much.

U.S. consumer spending slowed to 0.2% in May from a revised 0.6% the previous month. The Bureau of Economic Analysis also reported that personal incomes rose 0.5%, in line with forecasts and unchanged from April.

“It should really come as no surprise that U.S. consumers are paring their spending due to the high costs of, well, almost everything,” BMO Capital Markets economist Jennifer Lee wrote in an analysis. The prior four months of spending data were revised lower, she noted.

The index of personal consumption expenditures, a broad gauge of inflation in the economy, rose 6.3% in May on a year-over-year basis. It was unchanged from last month’s reading. The index is the Fed’s preferred measuring stick for inflation. The core PCE fell from 4.9% to 4.7% and was unchanged at 0.3%. Both numbers were in line with views.

The 12-month core PCE was the slowest increase in half a year, Lee added. “In other words, nothing here that would scream anything bigger than 75,” referring to an expected 75-basis point rate hike at the next Fed meeting.

Jobless Claims Fall; Treasury Yields Lower

Jobless claims eased from a revised 233,000 to 231,000 in the latest week. Economists had forecast 226,000, according to Econoday.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell 6 basis points to 3.03%.

In commodities, the price of U.S. crude oil fell nearly 1% to $108.96 a barrel.

United Airlines (UAL) tumbled more than 4% in heavy trading, dropping near 52-week lows. The airlines reached a tentative agreement on wage hikes for its pilots as United and other carriers struggle with staffing shortages. Evercore cut its price target on United to 45 from 56.
