China's distressing position in the stock market seem to be getting worse as their oil prices continue to drop on Monday, September 22. This has been deemed as their largest fall in what was said to be a seven-week streak.

The investors have started to worry about China's depreciating performance in the stock market, which has been affecting oil prices as it weighed the energy stocks down.

On the real estate sector, stocks fell 1.8 percent to $5.05 million, which is seasonally adjusted every year whereas sales last month fell from $5.14 million. This affected the stocks for Monday's report, which proves that the profit from first-time buyers remained low due to the fact that few Americans purchased homes last month as investors rebounded from real estate. It was a great relief in the bond market though when interest rates eased and yielded from last Friday's 2.58 percent to 2.57 percent.
