US stocks closed in negative territory on Monday, with the Dow tumbling more than 600 points, as investors looked towards the Fed’s symposium at Jackson Hole on Thursday as European gas futures spiked.

At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.91% at 33,063.61, as the S&P 500 lost 2.14% to 4,137.99 and the Nasdaq Composite was 2.55% weaker at 12,381.57.

The Dow had lost 643.13 points by the end of trading on what was Wall Street’s worst day since June.

“US markets have taken their lead from European markets … as natural gas prices surge on both sides of the Atlantic,” said CMC Markets chief market analyst Michael Hewson.

“The meme stock bubble is also imploding again with cinema chain AMC Entertainment shares down heavily as its new APE preferred shares start trading, and sector peer Cineworld confirms it’s looking at a possible Chapter 11 bankruptcy.”

There was little in the way of economic news stateside on Monday, with the sole data point being the Chicago Fed national activity index, which came in at a positive 0.27 for July.

That compared to -0.25 in June, which was itself revised from an initial reading of -0.19.

In equities, Signify Health rocketed 32.08% following reports that Amazon was among the bidders for the company.

The Wall Street Journal cited “people familiar with the matter” as saying that Amazon was joining the likes of CVS Health and UnitedHealth Group in an auction for the home-health service provider.

Sources told the WSJ that Signify was for sale in an auction that could value it at more than $8bn.

On the downside, cruise operators fared poorly, with Carnival down 4.86%, Norwegian Cruise Line off 4.78%, and Caribbean Group 4.72% weaker.

Other players in the travel sector were also on the back foot, with Delta Air Lines down 2.62% and United Airlines off 3.04%, while hotel operators Marriott International and Hilton Worldwide lost 2.14% and 2.88%, respectively.
