Weighing heavily on the Dow were industrial conglomerate 3M Co, down 4.8 per cent, after it reported a second-quarter plunge in demand across its businesses and McDonald’s Corp, which fell 2.5 per cent, after a surprisingly big drop in global same-store sales. “It’s probably not a bad place to take some profits and rebuild some liquidity because any of those three events could lead to volatility,” said Sameer Samana, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute in St. Louis.Meanwhile, Florida reported a record one-day rise in coronavirus deaths, and cases in Texas passed the 400,000 mark, stoking fears the United States was losing control of the outbreak.

“There has to be tremendous compromise from both parties to get to some agreement,” Luschini said, noting a congressional recess scheduled for August adds deadline pressure. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 205.49 points, or 0.77 per cent, to 26,379.28, the S&P 500 lost 20.97 points, or 0.65 per cent, to 3,218.44 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 134.18 points, or 1.27 per cent, to 10,402.09.

Of the S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings so far this quarter, about 80 per cent surpassed significantly lowered profit forecasts, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
