On Monday, Wall Street slid deeper into a bear market, with the S&P 500 and Dow closing lower as investors fretted that the Federal Reserve's aggressive campaign against inflation could throw the U.S. economy into a sharp downturn.

The S&P 500 index confirmed in June it was in a bear market; on Monday, it ended the session below its mid-June closing low, extending this year's overall selloff.
With the Fed signaling last Wednesday that high interest rates could last through 2023, the S&P 500 has relinquished the last of its gains made in a summer rally.
