New york: Global stock markets have seen a decline as major indices in the US and European stock exchanges fell. On September 5, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 0.48% to 45,400.86 points, while the S and P 500 index dropped by 0.32% to 6,481.50 points. The Nasdaq Composite experienced a slight fall of 0.03% to 21,700.39 points, and the NYSE Composite index saw a 0.10% reduction to 21,136.04 points. In contrast, Canada’s S and P/TSX Composite index experienced a rise of 0.47% to 29,050.63 points.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the decline in European markets was more pronounced. The Euro Stoxx 50 index fell by 0.53% to 5,318.15 points. Germany’s DAX index decreased by 0.73% to 23,596.98 points, while France’s CAC 40 index fell by 0.31% to 7,674.78 points. Spain’s IBEX 35 index saw a fall of 0.45% to 14,850.90 points, and Britain’s FTSE 100 index decreased by 0.09% to 9,208.21 points.

Analysts indicate that these changes are formed against the backdrop of investors’ expectations regarding
the future trajectory of interest rates, uncertainty about the pace of economic growth, and fluctuations in the global energy market. While the technology sector in the United States remained relatively stable, signs of economic weakness in Europe and weakening German industrial indicators exerted additional pressure on the indices.
