NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The current household poker in Washington and the current supply bottlenecks in the economy made US investors very insecure on Thursday. The standard value indices closed significantly in the red after a mixed trading start. In the case of tech stocks, on the other hand, the losses were limited.
The leading index Dow Jones Industrial went 1.59 percent lower at 33,843.92 meters from the market. With a minus of around 2 percent, the stock market barometer also recorded the first quarterly loss since the beginning of the corona pandemic. On a monthly basis, there is a loss of more than 4 percent.
For the broader S&P 500 
this Thursday it went down 1.19 percent to 4307.54 counters. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 but only gave way by 0.43 percent to 14,689.62 points.
Shortly before the deadline, Congress averted an impending partial standstill of government business. Both chambers voted for a transitional budget until December 3rd. The much bigger problem of the debt ceiling remains for the time being. Without an increase or suspension of this limit by Congress, the US government could default on payments in mid-October, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
