The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) followed Wall Street into the red on Monday. The index closed 1.4% lower at 6,667.8 points.
Its tumble appeared to follow similar suffering on US markets on Friday after strong employment data stoked expectations of further rate hikes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) fell 2.1% on Friday, as the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) plunged 2.8%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) plummeted 3.8%.
Unsurprisingly, then, the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) was one of the market's worst-performing sectors today, dumping 2.6%.
Interestingly, the S&P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index (ASX: CSJ) led the way, falling just 0.3%.
Meanwhile, the S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) fell 0.9% and the S&/ASX 200 Energy Index (ASX: XEJ) dumped 1.1% despite rising oil prices.
The Brent crude oil price lifted 3.7% to US$97.92 a barrel on Friday, while the US Nymex crude oil price gained 4.7% to US$92.64 a barrel.
