The Dow Jones lost 0.05%, the Nasdaq index fell 1.04% and the broader S&P 500 index fell 0.57%.

“It was a dull session from the start,” commented Patrick O’Hare of Briefing.com. “We started with the Oracle failure and we confirmed with Apple, which folded before and following its product launch.”

The software publisher and remote (cloud) computing provider Oracle (-13.50%) thus published, Monday following the market, a turnover slightly lower than expected and forecasts considered disappointing.

As for Apple (-1.71%), its new iPhone 15 did not impress investors, the main change compared to the previous version being the integration of a so-called “USB-C” port to satisfy the notebook charges set by the European Union.

“Apart from the price of the iPhone 15 Pro, which was expected to increase (compared to its 14 version) but which remained unchanged, the presentation resembled what the specialists expected,” commented Yory Wurmser, d ‘Insider Intelligence.

Since the publication of press information, never officially confirmed, according to which the Chinese authorities had banned the iPhone in certain government agencies, the world’s largest capitalization has lost more than 7%, erasing, in the process, more than 200 billion dollars of stock market value.

The ten main capitalizations on the Nasdaq all lost more than 1% on Tuesday, led by Tesla (-2.23%), Meta (-1.92%) and Microsoft (-1.83%).

On the other hand, the Dow Jones did rather well, thanks in particular to the banks, Goldman Sachs (+1.93%) and JPMorgan (+1.30%), as well as to values ​​considered defensive, that is to say less sensitive to the economic situation, like McDonald’s (+0.34%), Honeywell (+1.61%) or Walgreens (+1.34%).

Disney remained well oriented (+1.41%) following the agreement on Monday with the cable operator Charter Communications (+0.18%), which will allow around 15 million American subscribers to cable television to access the group’s flagship channels, mainly ABC and ESPN (sport).

The aeronautics and defense group RTX (formerly Raytheon) continued its slide (-1.74%), the day following a profit warning linked to a problem on the engines of its subsidiary Pratt & Whitney, which notably equips the Airbus A320 neo.

The New York market is already awaiting the publication, on Wednesday, of the CPI price index for August, which should record a rebound in inflation, according to economists’ forecasts.
