Börse Express – New York Stocks End: Delta variant hails the start of the week

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX) – The stock prices in New York got off to a bad start to the new stock market week on Monday. In particular, the rapid spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus has hit investors hard on the stomach. The concern that the variant could slow global economic growth put pressure on the courses. The US health authority CDC, for example, warned against traveling to the country in view of the sharp increase in coronavirus infections in Great Britain.

That pushed the leading index Dow Jones Industrial down by 2.09 percent to 33,962.04 points. It fell below the 34,000 mark, its lowest level in almost a month. For the market-wide S&P 500 it went down by 1.59 percent to 4258.49 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100
held up a little better with a minus of 0.90 percent on 14,549.09 counters
