Stocks New York: Relaxation on the bond market helps prices on the jumps

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The falling yields on the US bond market also helped the US stock exchanges on Monday. Support also came from the continuing decline in the number of new corona infections in the United States. Since US President Joe Biden took office almost two months ago, more than 100 million vaccine doses against the coronavirus have been administered. So the vaccinations went much faster than expected, because Biden had specified the first 100 days of his term of office and thus the end of April as the period for this amount.

The Dow Jones Industrial turned positive after a weak start and recently gained 0.08 percent to 32,654.45 points. For the market-wide S&P 500, it rose 0.39 percent to 3928.54 points. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 even rose by 1.23 percent to 13,025.81 points./gl/jha/
