[Reuters]–The US stock market has continued to fall and closed. While the Nasdaq Composite entered the adjustment phase due to the decline from the beginning of the year, some low-priced purchases were seen, but it turned to a decline toward the end of the year.
Major stock indexes have been in the positive territory almost all day, following a sharp drop this week.
The Nasdaq entered the adjustment phase on the 19th, dropping more than 10% from the highest closing price set in November last year. On the 20th, it closed at the lowest price since June last year, falling below the highest price by about 12%.

“January is likely to be a difficult time,” said Peter Taz, president of Chase Investment Counsel. “Valuations are high, interest rates are rising, and the outlook is uncertain. It’s increasing. “
Of the 11 major S & P 500 sectors, 10 sectors closed in the negative territory, with consumer goods falling 1.9%. Utilities barely rose 0.1%.
