Investors remained nervous on Wall Street on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial
After its weakness the day before, it initially returned with a new record of 31,648 points, but then the tailwind was lost under the impression that bond yields rose again. With 31,494.32 points, he then crossed the finish line unchanged in percentage terms. On a weekly basis, it increased by 0.1 percent.
Investors continued to look tense at the interest rate markets because of the recently noticeable inflation concerns. The ongoing vaccination campaign supported the expectation of an early recovery from the Corona crisis. In addition to lavish government aid and loose interest rates, this is also a reason for worries about future inflation, which is currently driving up bond yields. “If this trend holds, the stock market would then be a little less without alternative,” said market observer Jochen Stanzl from CMC Markets.
Other indices ended trading in the red after early gains. The broad S&P 500 lost 0.19 percent to 3906.71 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100
fell 0.42 percent to 13,580.78 points. Because tech values have recently been losing importance among investors, he posted the fourth loss day in a row./tih/he
