The New York stock exchange closed this Wednesday's session, September 9, in negative territory, with the three main indices recording declines. The Dow Jones dropped 0.77% to 52,381.08 points, the S&P 500 fell 0.45% to 7,638.95 points and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.64% to 26,253.34 points.
Wednesday's losses represented a continuation of the declines recorded in Tuesday's session, on a day marked by tension in the markets related to oil prices.
The Brent barrel reached the $100 level, a level unprecedented since the early days of the Iran war, which contributed to the negative atmosphere in the North American equity markets.
