NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2018 / U.S. markets continued to drop on Monday, as tech sector close in the red weighed by majority of the FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google parent Alphabet) stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.57 percent to close at 25,306.83, while the S&P 500 Index was down 0.58 percent to close at 2,802.60.

“The market is punishing companies that don’t beat on revenue or earnings, or which give a bad outlook. You need to win on all three to do well, and if you miss, like Facebook did, you get pummeled,” said director of global market research at Boston Partners, Michael Mullaney.
