Today’s trading session will be the first chance for investors on Wall Street to show their reaction in tangible form and index trends will feel the negative pressure.
The credit downgrade for the U.S. is the prime reason for the sell offs observed just after opening bell today but many wonder if there will be a more long lasting effect. Global markets are showing negative action in their respective sessions and this will surely carry over into the U.S. trading session throughout the course of the day. The uncertainty related to the downgrade is difficult to process. This has never happened before so investors on Wall Street are venturing into uncommon territory.

Individual component companies should feel the heat as this week opens as well. Apple Inc. continues to feel the pressure today. According to MSN Money stock quotes, AAPL is trending lower by 2.52 percent at 364.21. The volatility in the marketplace continues.
