Major US stock indexes have fallen significantly, as the fall in shares of Apple Inc after the weak forecasts of the company's two suppliers had a negative impact on the technology sector.

Lumentum, a supplier of three-dimensional laser sensors for Face ID on the iPhone, lowered forecasts for the main financial indicators for the current quarter due to a request from one of its largest buyers to significantly reduce shipments in this period. It is assumed that this buyer is most likely Apple.

Market participants also drew attention to the statements of the Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly, who noted that the situation in the economy speaks in favor of a further increase in interest rates. “The current economic situation in the United States is“ extremely positive, ”whereas the target levels of employment and inflation rates that are provided for by the Fed’s mandate are practically achieved, which speaks in favor of a gradual normalization of monetary policy, she said.

Most of the DOW components showed a fall (26 of 30). The growth leader was the shares of The Coca-Cola Company (KO, + 0.56%). The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. shares turned out to be an outsider. (GS, -7.62%).

Almost all sectors of the S & P finished trading in the red. The largest decline is shown by the technology sector (-2.2%). Only the utility sector grew (+ 0.1%).

At the time of closing:

Dow 25,387.18 -602.12 -2.32%

European Commission Prsident Juncker said in an interview with a German television channel that he was “moderately concerned” with Italy’s relations with the European Union after the European Commission announced that the Rome budget project for 2019 had violated EU budget rules.

“Italians are moving away not only from what they promised us, but also from the minimum requirements of the Stability Pact (EU Budget Rules),” Juncker told the German news channel.

Italy’s budget for 2019 was rejected by the European Commission. The commission gave Rome time until Tuesday to submit a new budget and may initiate disciplinary action against Rome at the end of this month.

U.S. stock-index futures fell moderately on Monday, as a drop in Apple shares (AAPL; -2.3%) and lingering worries about global trade offset a surge in crude prices.

The 0.25% November 2018 bond will bond will mature on Nov. 15, and several other Danish bonds will also pay coupons.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told CNBC on Monday that his country would increase its involvement in the Pacific. "Australia is a principal participant in the Pacific and we are stepping up our involvement there, both strategically and economically and socially as well," Morrison said.

A positive start of trading in the stock markets of Europe is expected, following basically similar tones in Asian funds markets. Weaker currencies are a big catalyst as the pound and the euro fell due to Brexit and the Italian problems.

Moody's Investors Service says in a new report. Trade, political and geopolitical risks will likely escalate as tensions between the US and China heighten. In addition, consequences of slower growth will increasingly thrust globalization and inequality debates into the political arena.

"The slowdown in economic growth will give way to even weaker global credit conditions in 2020, while the multitude of risks on the horizon are increasing both in number and severity," says Elena Duggar, Chair of Moody's Macroeconomic Board. "Tightening monetary policy, worsening economic disputes and slower demand from China are three key drivers that will dominate the weaker growth outlook."

Geopolitical and domestic political tensions will dominate the risk landscape for global credit conditions and credit quality in 2019. Tensions between the US and China will spread far beyond trade disputes, while the risk of the UK withdrawing from the EU without a trade agreement in place has risen. Meanwhile, domestic political risks will continue to weigh on the credit outlooks for Italy, Brazil, Turkey and Argentina.

Advances in digital technologies will lead to productivity improvements and business disruptions as companies face pressure to keep pace with a changing competitive landscape. Meanwhile, cyber risks and data privacy issues will add to operational and reputational risks for governments and industries.
