The Dow Jones index lost 0.4 percent to 33,966 points. The technology-focused Nasdaq fell 0.8 percent to 11,171, the broadest Standard & Poor’s And the 500 lost 0.6 percent to 3,995 points.

However, the monetary watchdogs have indicated that they will tighten further next year: they estimate that the key interest rate will be 5.1 percent by the end of 2023.
