The main US stock indices fell noticeably. Pressure on the market provided sales in the technological segment and conglomerate sector, while some support was provided by the market from the growth of shares of banks, as well as securities of the energy sector.

In addition, investors reacted to the message that the confidence of consumers unexpectedly improved. The Conference Board said that the consumer confidence index rose to 118.9 in June. It was expected to decline to 116 from 117.6 in May. The index of the current situation increased by 5.3 points to 146.3, while the index of expectations fell by 1.7, to 100.6. At the same time, the S & P / Case-Shiller report showed that prices for single-family homes in the US accelerated at a slower pace than expected in April. According to the report, the composite index for 20 megacities rose in April at 5.7% per annum after an increase of 5.9% in March. The growth was forecasted at 5.9%.

Attention of market participants was also attracted by reports that the IMF worsened the outlook for the US economy due to doubts about the effectiveness of measures promised by Tramp to reduce taxes and increase spending on infrastructure. The IMF expects US GDP growth by 2.1% in 2018 against the previous forecast of + 2.5%, and predicts a slowdown in growth to 1.7% in the next 5 years. The IMF also believes that the US dollar rate is 10% -20% higher than the level justified in terms of economic fundamentals. In addition, the IMF said that the Fed should continue to raise interest rates "depending on the incoming data."

Most components of the DOW index finished trading in the red (22 of 30). Most fell shares of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ, -1.76%). Leader of the growth were JPMorgan Chase & Co. shares. (JPM, + 1.18%).

Most sectors of the S & P index showed a decline. The conglomerate sector fell most of all (-2.0%). The leader of growth was the financial sector (+ 0.3%).

Major U.S. stock-indexes were little changed, as equities managed to retrace a good portion of their opening losses. The investors' sentiment remained subdued due to continuing selloff in technology shares and ahead of the speech by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. On the contrary, names, belonging to financial and energy sectors, helped to keep the broader market afloat. Better-than-expected consumer confidence data also provided some support to the market.

A majority of Dow stocks in negative area (16 of 30). Top loser - Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ, -1.84%). Top gainer - JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM, +1.50%).

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had decreased in May, increased moderately in June. The Index now stands at 118.9 (1985=100), up from 117.6 in May. The Present Situation Index increased from 140.6 to 146.3, while the Expectations Index declined from 102.3 last month to 100.6.

"Consumer confidence increased moderately in June following a small decline in May," said Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board. "Consumers' assessment of current conditions improved to a nearly 16-year high (July 2001, 151.3). Expectations for the short-term have eased somewhat, but are still upbeat. Overall, consumers anticipate the economy will continue expanding in the months ahead, but they do not foresee the pace of growth accelerating."

The survey of 115 firms, of which 59 were retailers, showed that the volume of sales and orders placed upon suppliers grew modestly - exceeding expectations in both cases - in the year to June. Overall, sales for the time of year were considered to be broadly in line with seasonal norms.

Looking ahead, however, growth in volumes of sales is expected to stall in the year to July, while orders are also expected to be flat.

Within the retail sector, grocers and non-store sectors performed particularly strongly. Internet sales volumes also picked in the year to June, with growth broadly in line with the long-run average, but retailers expect somewhat slower growth in the year to July.

European stocks finished with gains on Monday, helped by Italian banks after that country's government stepped in to shut down two failed lenders, and as Nestlé SA rallied after a hedge fund snapped up a big stake in the consumer-products giant.

The Dow industrials on Monday ended a string of daily losses at four, but the Nasdaq Composite faltered, putting pressure on the broader market. For the first half of 2017, the benchmark S&P 500 is on track to advance about 9%, with some analysts suggesting that the second half will likely be positive as well.

Global shares were higher in Asia-Pacific trade Tuesday, lifted in part by a stronger U.S. dollar, though markets in Australia bucked the trend due to declines in utility and mining stocks. Spot gold prices were recently down 0.2%, extending losses after Monday's flash crash, which was caused by suspected human error. It plunged 1% shortly after the opening call in London on Monday and traded about 1.8 million troy ounces in a minute, "which is more than the volumes traded seen during recent global risk events," noted ANZ Research.
