On August 19, local time, the three major U.S. stock indexes closed down.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.86%, the S&P 500 lost 1.29% and the Nasdaq Composite lost 2.01%.

  Analysts believe that the summer rally of U.S. stocks has been sluggish due to the re-emergence of concerns about the Fed raising interest rates.
