NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The US stock market is heading towards a friendly end of the week after the holiday break. On Friday in particular, investors on the Nasdaq technology exchange were able to look forward to spa profits: While the Nasdaq 100 selection index climbed 0.92 percent to 12,264.52 points in the first hour of trading, the Nasdaq Composite set a new record right from the start .
In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial only lasted for an increase of 0.26 percent to 29,950.66 points. This will make it difficult for the leading index to break its record well over 30,000 points on Tuesday. The market-wide S&P 500 rose 0.34 percent to 3,642.04 points – it is only a few points short of its two and a half week old record high.
No trading took place on Thursday on the US stock exchanges due to the Thanksgiving holiday. On this Friday, the final bell will ring at 7 p.m. Central European Time – three hours earlier than usual. / Gl / he
