The Dow Jones fell 0.6% in the red at the close, to 34 577.37 points.

The Chinese taxi company Didi records a 19.5% exchange rate loss after an intervention by the Chinese government. He forced Didi to remove his app from various app stores because the company illegally collected data from users.

Didi had just gone public in New York last week. Investors there have not yet been able to comment on the news because Wall Street was closed Monday for Independence Day. That national holiday fell on Sunday, but gave traders a day off on Monday.

The tighter controls on tech companies from the Chinese government already made investors nervous. There was also a warning that China wants to monitor companies with a foreign listing more closely. Companies such as Alibaba, Baidu and JD.com fell to 3.4 percent.
