Broker IG valued the Dow Jones Industrial (Dow Jones 30 Industrial) on Friday three quarters of an hour before the start of trading, 0.58 percent higher to 35,961 points. IG expects the NASDAQ 100 with a plus of 0.85 percent at 16 287 points. This means that the leading index, which stagnated the day before, showed a weekly plus of almost four percent and the high-tech selection index, despite the previous day’s slide, a price increase of over three and a half percent.
