Dow falls more than 100 points as Apple leads tech slide, Wall Street awaits Powell testimony; European markets close lower despite strong US job growth; Deutsche Bank shares fall 5% as restructuring begins

Stocks fell on Monday as losses in Apple shares pressured the broader tech sector. Investors also braced for key testimony from the top Federal Reserve official later this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 115.98 points, or 0.4%, lower to 26,806.14 while the S&P 500 pulled back 0.5% to 2,975.95. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite lagged, sliding 0.8% to 8,098.38.
Apple shares fell more than 2% after an analyst at Rosenblatt Securities downgraded the stock to sell from neutral. The analyst said the company will “face fundamental deterioration over the next 6 to 12 months ” as Apple’s iPhone sales disappoint and growth in other products slows down.
The pan-European Stoxx 600 dipped below the flatline at the closing bell, with most sectors and major bourses in the red.
Europe’s banking stocks led the losses, trading nearly 1% lower after Deutsche Bank announced it would pull out of its global equities sales and trading operations, scale back its investment banking and slash thousands of jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring plan to improve profitability.
Germany’s flagship lender surged toward the top of the European benchmark shortly after the opening bell, before giving up all of its gains to slip toward the bottom of the index. Shares of Deutsche Bank ended the session 5% lower.
