United States

The February slump helped the Dow plunge into negative territory for the year, while the other two indexes are still on the rise.

Keith Buchanan, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments, said the drop marked a reversal of January’s rally, in part due to the bomb jobs data released in the first week of the month. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 517,000 in January, report says

Commodities

Gold prices posted their biggest monthly drop since June 2021 on Tuesday, as a stronger dollar and concerns that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates further weighed on the unprofitable asset’s appeal.

Gold prices hit their highest level since April 2022 in early February, but quickly reversed course. Gold is down more than 5% so far this month after strong economic data boosted expectations for more rate hikes.

On Tuesday, however, spot gold was up 0.6% at $1,828.28 an ounce as of 2:02 p.m. ET (1902 GMT), after touching $1,804.20, its lowest level since late December. U.S. gold futures rose 0.7% to $1,836.70.
