NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – After the long weekend, the most important US indices first set records on Tuesday and then lost momentum. Apart from the Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial), the other major US indices turned into the red. The leading index of Wall Street saved itself however 0.20 percent higher at 31,522.75 points. Hours earlier he had made it over the mark of 31,600 points for the first time.
On the market it was said that there was a lack of new tangible impulses to justify a further increase. At the beginning, the US stock exchanges would have understood the strength of the world stock exchanges on Monday when US trading paused on “George Washington Day”. It was said that ongoing vaccination campaigns and falling numbers of new infections in the midst of the corona pandemic were good for the economic perspective, but not tangible enough to fuel the rally even further.
Other indices also hit record highs on Tuesday, but were unable to defend their gains. The S&P 500 ultimately lost 0.06 percent to 3932.59 points. The technology-heavy NASDAQ 100 fell 0.25 percent to 13,773.77 points./tih/he
