The standard values on Wall Street picked up on their previous day’s recovery by midweek. The hope for a vaccine against the lung disease Covid-19 is giving the stocks back support after the sharp rise in infection numbers weighed heavily on the stock markets at the beginning of the week. In contrast, losses dominate on the Nasdaq technology exchange.
Der Dow Jones Industrial traded 0.20 percent higher at 27,343.93 points in early trading. On Monday, the Dow had risen by around half a percent, after having fallen by almost 2 percent at the beginning of the week. The market-wide S&P 500
fell on Wednesday by 0.16 percent to 3310.30 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 fell 0.80 percent to 11,097.10 points. On Tuesday it had risen by almost 2 percent./edh/fba
