Major stock markets on Wall Street extended losses during Monday's trading session amid expanding concerns the Federal Reserve will keep hiking interest rates, pulling the United States economy into a recession. The Dow Jones sank 1.08% or 380 points, while the Nasdaq 100 lost 1.35% or 162 points and the S&P 500 fell by 1.44%. The euro and the pound recorded losses against the dollar amid better-than-expected ISM service sector data released earlier today.
