US OPEN: Wall Street retreats from record highs

• US stocks start session mostly lower 
• Goldman Sachs downgraded US growth outlook
• Boeing (BA.US) suffered an orders blow

US indices launched today’s session mostly lower, amid ongoing concerns regarding the spread of the coronavirus delta variant and economic slowdown. Moreover, the chances of introducing tapering this year also faded away after the recent disappointing NFP report. Goldman Sachs downgraded its economic outlook over the weekend and the bank now sees 5.7% annual growth in 2021, below the 6.2% consensus. The firm cut its fourth-quarter GDP outlook to 5.5%, down from 6.5%. This week investors will focus on jobless claims data on Thursday and producer prices on Friday for a further update on the American economic recovery.

Boeing (BA.US) stock fell 1% in premarket after the aircraft producer suffered an orders blow.  Ryanair, one of Boeing largest customers, said it ended talks to purchase 737 MAX 10 jets due to differences over price.

Boeing (BA.US) stock launched today’s session lower and price is currently testing the lower limit of the triangle formation. If current sentiment prevails, then downward move may accelerate towards support at $205.00.
