Investing.com - The ASX 200 was 0.4% lower after the first hour of Wednesday's trade, following a significant sell-off on Wall Street as investors eagerly await the release of crucial local inflation data.

The S&P/ASX 200 index dropped by 30.9 points, reaching 7007.3 ahead of the August CPI data release scheduled for 11:30am AEST.

Rate sensitive sectors such as tech led declines, with Life360 Inc (ASX:360) saw a 2.6% decrease, Wisetech Global Ltd (ASX:WTC) fell by 1%, and Technology One Ltd (ASX:TNE) registered a 0.8% loss.

In the United States, both the S&P 500 and the tech-focused Nasdaq experienced losses of more than 1%. This downturn followed disappointing consumer confidence data and the continuation of the US 10-year bond yields at their highest level since 2007.

Comment Guidelines

We encourage you to use comments to engage with users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other. However, in order to maintain the high level of discourse we’ve all come to value and expect, please keep the following criteria in mind: 

  • Enrich the conversation
  • Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.
  • Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically.
  •  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed
  • Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user.
  • Don’t Monopolize the Conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also believe strongly in giving everyone a chance to air their thoughts. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended. If we receive complaints about individuals who take over a thread or forum, we reserve the right to ban them from the site, without recourse.
  • Only English comments will be allowed.

Perpetrators of spam or abuse will be deleted from the site and prohibited from future registration at Investing.com’s discretion.
