- NYSE:AMC fell by 3.0% during Monday’s trading session.
- The new payment upgrades to AMC’s mobile app have not impressed investors.
- Fantastic Beasts 3 struggles at the box office and debuts at a franchise low.
NYSE:AMC extended its recent decline as the meme stock falls further below its 50-day moving average price and erases any gains made in the month of March. On Monday, shares of AMC fell by 3.0% and closed the trading day at $17.48. US markets were lacking direction to start the week, as a series of macroeconomic factors weighed on investors. Talk of imminent rate hikes from the Fed and the start of earnings season seemed to play a role in the volatility on Monday that led to all three major indices closing lower yet again. The Dow Jones edged lower by 39 basis points and the S&P 500 and NASDAQ dipped by 0.02% and 0.14% respectively during the session.
