The Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX: SYA) share price powered downwards on Monday afternoon.
This was despite the company not releasing any announcements since the update regarding its North American lithium operation earlier this month.
At market close on Monday, the emerging lithium producer’s shares finished down 5.36% to 26.5 cents.
What dragged down Sayona shares?
A broader sell-off on the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) today appears to have impacted the Sayona share price.
In contrast, the benchmark ASX 200 index finished down 1.95% to 6,965.5 points following Wall Street’s heavy falls last week.
The United States Federal Reserve held its annual Jackson Hole economic symposium on Friday.
At the event, Fed Reserve chair Jerome Powell dashed hopes about a change in direction from the central bank’s aggressive monetary policy.
He reaffirmed the goal to bring down inflation levels to 2% and hinted at a possible 0.75% rate hike next month.
Subsequently, the market seems to be pricing in the latest news.
Currently, futures for the Dow Jones Industrials are down 213 points, or 0.66%.
The S&P 500 futures and the Nasdaq Futures are sliding 0.83% and 1.18%, respectively.
