Wall Street was hit hard on Dec 2 by fresh trade tensions and downbeat U.S. manufacturing data. Each of the key U.S. indexes — The S&P 500, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq — suffered their steepest single-day drop since mid-October. Overvaluation concerns probably played a role in dragging down the indexes.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA and Invesco QQQ Trust QQQ lost about 0.8%, 0.9% and 1.02%, respectively, on the day.

“President Donald Trump’s announcement that he would reimpose tariffs on Brazilian and Argentinian steel and aluminum” and possibilities of China intensifying retaliation over a supportive U.S. bill toward pro-democracy Hong Kong protestors flared up geopolitical tensions.

On top of it, the ISM manufacturing purchasing managers’ index came in at 48.1 for November, down from 48.3 in October and falling short of consensus economists’ expectation of 49.2, according to Bloomberg data. This marked the fourth successive month of ISM data below 50, reflecting a contraction in activity.

Also, U.S. construction spending declined 0.8% in October against expectation of a 0.4% increase.  Spending on private, residential and public construction projects declined for the month, leading to more than a 1.8% slump inReal Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE) on Dec 2.
